Step 25: Find Like-Minded People

Finding like-minded individuals who share the same language-learning goals is
important. A lack of motivation is the number one killer of success. Having
company on the same path to fluency decreases the likelihood of losing steam
along the way. Learners who find a community that thrives on curiosity and
knowledge will always feel inspired. Everyone can feed off of the energy to
learn and thus they will feel more inclined to keep learning. These individuals
can also share tips and tricks that help a learner to learn effectively.

People also feel accountable once they've shared their goals with different
people. By being more open about their experiences, an individual will be less
likely to back out of language learning - especially ones who have come so far. It
is good to have positive and curious minds surrounding the learner as this will
make them realize that they are not alone. There are other individuals who are
learning and making the same mistakes just as they are.
