1) Change your want mentality to a need mentality
2) Have practical short-term aims with your language
3) Stop thinking about how hard your target language is; that will get you nowhere! Focus on the positive!
4) Mistakes are a natural part of the learning process, accept that they will happen and know that this will not prevent you from communicating.
5) Using luck, talent or genes is not a good excuse. You can overcome challenges to reach your goal.
