We look back only to discover that our motivation fades by mid-February. Why do our New Year&#8217;s resolutions often disappear so quickly? And if my goal for the new year is to improve my English &#8211; should I give up on it?<\/mark><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h6 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Prepared with love by<mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);color:#828487\" class=\"has-inline-color\"> <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/mpec.it\/softskills\/en\/method\/\">My Personal English Coach<\/a><\/strong>, December, 2023<\/mark><\/h6>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><br><strong>Absolutely not. Let&#8217;s take a moment to look at it together, okay?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">First of all, we have a problem: <strong>Do you know the differences between goals and habits?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The goals we set are important because they give direction and purpose. However, goals alone are like distant landmarks on the horizon: visible but not always reachable. This is where habits come into play. Habits are the steps we take every day, the small, consistent actions that bring us closer to our goals. They are the bridge between aspiration and achievement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Turning goals into habits means integrating our aspirations into our daily routines. It&#8217;s about creating a path of regular, manageable actions that keep us moving forward, even when our initial enthusiasm wanes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you want to improve your English, this approach is fundamental.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Learning a new language is a journey, a marathon, not a sprint. By turning language learning goals into daily habits, we make steady progress, bit by bit, day by day. And for those who want to master a second language, like English, for example, consistent practice is essential. It&#8217;s not just about setting the goal to become &#8216;more confident in English&#8217;; it&#8217;s about making this language a part of our everyday life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But&#8230; Where Should I Start If I Want To Improve My English?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center has-background\" style=\"background:linear-gradient(15deg,rgb(255,245,203) 0%,rgb(182,227,212) 20%,rgb(51,167,181) 83%);font-style:normal;font-weight:600;text-transform:capitalize\"><a href=\"https:\/\/mpec.it\/softskills\/en\/expand-your-mind\/soft-skills-courses\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/mpec.it\/softskills\/expand-your-mind\/corsi-soft-skills\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">The MPEC Approach Has Revolutionised The Soft Skills Training &#8211; Here Is How<\/a><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<h6 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ecco i 5 steps che &#8211; secondo gli esperti in formazione linguistica, bilinguismo e le neuroscience sono la strada verso una completa padronanza della lingua di Shakespeare.<\/h6>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_86 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">Table of Contents<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"ez-toc-pull-right ez-toc-btn ez-toc-btn-xs ez-toc-btn-default ez-toc-toggle\" aria-label=\"Toggle Table of Content\"><span class=\"ez-toc-js-icon-con\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #0abab5;color:#0abab5\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #0abab5;color:#0abab5\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-1'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/mpec.it\/softskills\/en\/tips\/improve-my-english-but-i-dont-know-how-to-set-new-years-resolutions-without-feeling-inadequate-and-frustrated\/#5_Steps_To_REALLY_BOOST_your_English_Next_Year\" >5 Steps To REALLY BOOST your English Next Year<\/a><ul class='ez-toc-list-level-2' ><li class='ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/mpec.it\/softskills\/en\/tips\/improve-my-english-but-i-dont-know-how-to-set-new-years-resolutions-without-feeling-inadequate-and-frustrated\/#Step_1_Clear_Goals_for_Clear_Results\" >Step 1: Clear Goals for Clear Results<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/mpec.it\/softskills\/en\/tips\/improve-my-english-but-i-dont-know-how-to-set-new-years-resolutions-without-feeling-inadequate-and-frustrated\/#Step_2_Immersive_Learning\" >Step 2: Immersive Learning<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-4\" href=\"https:\/\/mpec.it\/softskills\/en\/tips\/improve-my-english-but-i-dont-know-how-to-set-new-years-resolutions-without-feeling-inadequate-and-frustrated\/#Step_3_Practice_Practice_Practice\" >Step 3: Practice, Practice, Practice<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-5\" href=\"https:\/\/mpec.it\/softskills\/en\/tips\/improve-my-english-but-i-dont-know-how-to-set-new-years-resolutions-without-feeling-inadequate-and-frustrated\/#Step_4_Use_the_Power_of_Neuroscience\" >Step 4: Use the Power of Neuroscience<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-6\" href=\"https:\/\/mpec.it\/softskills\/en\/tips\/improve-my-english-but-i-dont-know-how-to-set-new-years-resolutions-without-feeling-inadequate-and-frustrated\/#Step_5_There_Will_Be_Dragons_Just_Prepare\" >Step 5: There Will Be Dragons.
