Prepare: Learning a second language has so many benefits. Being bilingual increases job opportunities, allows one to earn more money, protects against Alzheimer’s and dementia, improves memory and attention span, and improves decision making, just to name a few. Along with all of those benefits, and many more, learning a second language is often accompanied by apprehension. Will I be able to do this now? The answer is, yes! You will be able to do it, but you must adopt a beginner’s mindset. That means you need to maintain a positive attitude and eagerness no matter how difficult the process becomes for you. Accept that mistakes are part of the process.
Reflect: Reflecting can help prepare for a mental journey. Watch the mindset video above, and think about your purpose and your goals for learning Spanish.
