In this article, we would like to show you how to set goals for learning Japanese. This is very crux and crucial but often neglected before we start learning Japanese.

What is a goal?

Basically, it’s something we aim for, an outcome that we wish to achieve in a certain amount of time. For example: I learn Japanese so that I can become a Japanese teacher after I have graduated, I learn Japanese so that in 2 years, I can communicate naturally in Japanese…

Why setting goals is important?

• First of all, the goals let us know what we are aiming for, the road we are going to take; helping us achieve the right target in less time. Without a specific goal, we would likely get confused in what we want to do, your preferences would change over time and that’s not healthy at all.
• A goal is the base for us to build our plans on, from overall concept to the smallest details.
• A goal help us utilize the resources effectively: Time, money and effort. It helps prevent wasting resources. For example: You will sleep less, hang out less once you reckon you need that time to achieve your target.
• A goal will give you the drive and energy:

Instead of spending time hanging out with your friends, you put learning above your friends. You know you have to put more effort into studying, while your friends hang out or enjoy the internet, or watch videos and stuff, wasting their time.

Those are some of the reasons why you need to set goals for learning Japanese, if you haven’t done it yet, take a look at some fun facts and things that need to be noted when you start to set goals for learning Japanese :

Help you train your brain

The bigger the target is, the better your brain functions; the bigger the target is, the more motivation we get. In studying, when we had the mindset that we are aiming for our goals, we find it easier to concentrate and comprehend.

For example, one aims to graduate with a Good Degree after four years in university, scoring not less than 7 is sufficient for them. But to someone who sets their target to achieve a Very good Degree, they are going to put more effort seeing as 7 is not enough for them to guarantee their average score not less than 8. Or one wants to open a translation company in 4 years after having graduated from university, will choose a different way than ordinary people, they don’t just simply learn about foreign languages, but also management, laws, soft skills… to achieve their ultimate goal.

Stop second-guessing your ability

Don’t limit yourself, people have their brains and time, so do you! The problem is you don’t dare to change to cater to your dream, it’s all on you.

Change your attitude, changing a habit might take a month, in this 1 month, things might be hard because of your old mindset and habit (being conceded, a lazybum , a sleepyhead, a complainer…) often get in the way, drag you back to your old lazy self. If you can’t get over this, you will only score another failure in this battle with your own self. You’re still the very you, nothing is going to change.

Be specific

Setting goals needs to be specific, with a time frame or else, you wouldn’t know how long will be needed and who you are going to be when you have achieved it. Without having a clear target and a certain time frame, it’s basically the same as when you don’t have a target at all. You will only keep procastinating, especially when confronting hardships…

Review your goals everyday

We tend to forget things, or get distracted easily causing us to forget about our goals. Thus, review your goals everyday, and remind yourself to push harder to achieve them.
