Study Methods: Consistency Is Key

Posted on 14th September 2009 in Language Learners

So, the eternal question. How often do I study?

The answer: as much as you can, as often as you can.

Simple huh? I’m being serious…

If you don’t have much time and you can only spare two hours a week, then you’re much better off doing 15 minutes a day than one 2 hour session. Why?

Because just like exercise, consistency is more important. If you exercise regularly you get stronger and fitter, so it obviously makes sense that if you study regularly your language ability will get stronger.

I won’t harp on about this too much because that’s all there is to it. Decide how much time you can spare and spread it out over the week… Daily is ideal, but if not, every second day is often regular enough for progress.
