Want to learn a language? Start by Changing how you see yourself
Want to learn a language? Start by Changing how you see yourself Have you ever noticed that lasting habits are built when they align with who you believe you are? I came across this insight while reading recently: the best way to create a habit is to associate it with your identity. If you see yourself as a writer, you’ll write daily. If you see yourself as a fit person, you’ll make exercise a non-negotiable part of your day.
But how does this apply to learning a new language?
To become proficient in a foreign language, start by reshaping how you see yourself. Say to yourself, “I am a French speaker,” even if you’re only at the Bonjour stage. Own that identity. When you start identifying as a person who speaks and learns the language, you’ll naturally begin making choices that reinforce this belief:
• You’ll make speaking, reading, and listening a daily practice.
• You’ll immerse yourself in the culture through music, shows, and conversations.
• You’ll seek opportunities to practice without worrying about mistakes, because this is just who you are.
This mindset shift doesn’t happen overnight, but once it does, consistency follows effortlessly. You’re no longer just “learning a language”; you’re embodying it.
Identify yourself as a French speaker, a Spanish enthusiast, or a global communicator—and watch how your language-learning journey transforms from a daunting task to a fulfilling part of who you are.
