67 00:02:29.700 --> 00:02:31.800 the hard parts of language learning 68 00:02:31.800 --> 00:02:34.260 part one the two-minute rule for 69 00:02:34.260 --> 00:02:35.819 breaking through 70 00:02:35.819 --> 00:02:37.620 if you think about the language you're 71 00:02:37.620 --> 00:02:39.480 learning what are the specific points 72 00:02:39.480 --> 00:02:41.099 that you're struggling with is it 73 00:02:41.099 --> 00:02:43.019 conjugating certain verbs or certain 74 00:02:43.019 --> 00:02:45.660 tense leave a comment below and tell us 75 00:02:45.660 --> 00:02:47.700 what your trouble spots are it's 76 00:02:47.700 --> 00:02:49.200 practically a guarantee that if you're 77 00:02:49.200 --> 00:02:50.700 learning a language you'll run into 78 00:02:50.700 --> 00:02:53.400 trouble from time to time so how do you 79 00:02:53.400 --> 00:02:55.260 deal with these pain points 80 00:02:55.260 --> 00:02:57.120 well there's something called the two 81 00:02:57.120 --> 00:02:59.639 minute rule for creating habits if you 82 00:02:59.639 --> 00:03:01.379 want to start a new habit and do 83 00:03:01.379 --> 00:03:03.540 something new do it for just two minutes 84 00:03:03.540 --> 00:03:06.360 a day once those two minutes are up you 85 00:03:06.360 --> 00:03:07.919 can walk away and come back to it 86 00:03:07.919 --> 00:03:10.319 tomorrow you can apply this very same 87 00:03:10.319 --> 00:03:12.540 rule toward cracking the hard parts of 88 00:03:12.540 --> 00:03:14.879 language learning but the trick is you 89 00:03:14.879 --> 00:03:16.919 have to keep up with it almost daily or 90 00:03:16.919 --> 00:03:18.419 do it every time you're learning a 91 00:03:18.419 --> 00:03:19.800 language 92 00:03:19.800 --> 00:03:22.919 how for example you can spend about two 93 00:03:22.919 --> 00:03:24.840 minutes on creating sentences with 94 00:03:24.840 --> 00:03:27.239 grammar rules you recently learned but 95 00:03:27.239 --> 00:03:29.700 why just two minutes if it's hard you'd 96 00:03:29.700 --> 00:03:31.200 think you'd want to spend more time on 97 00:03:31.200 --> 00:03:33.540 it right if you can spend more than two 98 00:03:33.540 --> 00:03:35.819 minutes you should but the fact is the 99 00:03:35.819 --> 00:03:37.560 parts you struggle with whether grammar 100 00:03:37.560 --> 00:03:39.959 or otherwise are not fun to do and 101 00:03:39.959 --> 00:03:41.879 probably not your favorite things to do 102 00:03:41.879 --> 00:03:44.340 so it's unlikely that you'll put in 10 103 00:03:44.340 --> 00:03:45.959 or 30 minutes towards something you 104 00:03:45.959 --> 00:03:48.659 struggle with and don't like but usually 105 00:03:48.659 --> 00:03:50.940 that hard part if you can Master it will 106 00:03:50.940 --> 00:03:53.400 take your language to the next level 107 00:03:53.400 --> 00:03:55.860 so the first reason is the two-minute 108 00:03:55.860 --> 00:03:57.900 rule makes things easier if you only 109 00:03:57.900 --> 00:03:59.580 have to do two minutes practicing the 110 00:03:59.580 --> 00:04:02.159 language isn't so bad and second you 111 00:04:02.159 --> 00:04:03.959 could put in more time up front but 112 00:04:03.959 --> 00:04:06.480 that's not the best way language becomes 113 00:04:06.480 --> 00:04:09.299 natural to us over time not overnight or 114 00:04:09.299 --> 00:04:11.640 after a three hour study session meaning 115 00:04:11.640 --> 00:04:13.920 you have to chip away at it daily you 116 00:04:13.920 --> 00:04:16.260 need time to review to rest to let your 117 00:04:16.260 --> 00:04:17.880 brain sort it out and come back to 118 00:04:17.880 --> 00:04:20.040 practice some more so what do you 119 00:04:20.040 --> 00:04:22.019 currently struggle with chances are 120 00:04:22.019 --> 00:04:23.880 you're going to avoid these pain points 121 00:04:23.880 --> 00:04:25.979 because well you'd rather do what's fun 122 00:04:25.979 --> 00:04:27.900 or easy passive stuff like watching 123 00:04:27.900 --> 00:04:30.000 YouTube so that's where the two minute 124 00:04:30.000 --> 00:04:31.919 rule comes in 125 00:04:31.919 --> 00:04:34.440 part two how to apply this learning 126 00:04:34.440 --> 00:04:35.520 tactic 127 00:04:35.520 --> 00:04:38.040 to start all you have to do is put in 128 00:04:38.040 --> 00:04:40.320 two minutes a day or per session if you 129 00:04:40.320 --> 00:04:42.660 want to do multiple sessions a day so 130 00:04:42.660 --> 00:04:44.279 think about what it is you're struggling 131 00:04:44.279 --> 00:04:46.320 with right now it could be conjugating 132 00:04:46.320 --> 00:04:48.180 verbs it could be a specific grammar 133 00:04:48.180 --> 00:04:50.040 point or it could be the alphabet for 134 00:04:50.040 --> 00:04:50.820 now 135 00:04:50.820 --> 00:04:52.740 if you're using a notebook which we 136 00:04:52.740 --> 00:04:54.900 strongly recommend at the top of the 137 00:04:54.900 --> 00:04:57.060 page write down the one pain point you 138 00:04:57.060 --> 00:04:59.520 want to focus on and just put in at 139 00:04:59.520 --> 00:05:01.380 least two minutes practicing that 140 00:05:01.380 --> 00:05:03.660 specific thing you can do more if you 141 00:05:03.660 --> 00:05:05.699 want but keep it short for now and walk 142 00:05:05.699 --> 00:05:07.560 away before it feels like a struggle 143 00:05:07.560 --> 00:05:10.620 there's no rush to do it all now then at 144 00:05:10.620 --> 00:05:12.360 your next learning session do it again 145 00:05:12.360 --> 00:05:15.180 first thing open up your notebook write 146 00:05:15.180 --> 00:05:17.160 down that same point you want to focus 147 00:05:17.160 --> 00:05:19.500 on practice it and then move on to the 148 00:05:19.500 --> 00:05:21.900 easier things and bit by bit you'll 149 00:05:21.900 --> 00:05:23.400 start getting used to the grammar point 150 00:05:23.400 --> 00:05:25.560 the pronunciation or whatever else that 151 00:05:25.560 --> 00:05:27.419 you're struggling with and it'll slowly 152 00:05:27.419 --> 00:05:29.759 become natural for you over time 153 00:05:29.759 --> 00:05:31.919 again it's not about mastering 154 00:05:31.919 --> 00:05:33.960 everything right now but making it easy 155 00:05:33.960 --> 00:05:35.400 to do and putting in the time 156 00:05:35.400 --> 00:05:37.800 consistently the point is not to 157 00:05:37.800 --> 00:05:39.660 overwhelm yourself which can easily 158 00:05:39.660 --> 00:05:41.100 happen if you're practicing something 159 00:05:41.100 --> 00:05:43.380 you're not good at the point is to end 160 00:05:43.380 --> 00:05:45.600 it before it gets frustrating and if you 161 00:05:45.600 --> 00:05:47.699 keep at it daily you'll start cracking 162 00:05:47.699 --> 00:05:49.080 through the hard parts of your target 163 00:05:49.080 -->
