2.You aren’t studying towards a goal


What is the point in learning English when you don’t have any type of goal in mind? This is one of the reasons why many people fail to become fluent in English: they aren’t working towards a goal. When you set goals that you want to achieve, you automatically work harder. However, when you don’t have goals you hope to achieve you start having a hard time learning, because you aren’t motivated enough to work towards a goal.

3.You’re not being consistent enough when it comes to practicing your English


To become a fluent English speaker, you must be consistent. This means to keep showing up and practicing even when you don’t have the motivation and you don’t feel like it. You cannot rely on motivation alone to help you reach your goal. 

Consistency is very important! By being consistent and sticking to your practice times, you will have a better chance at reaching your English goals.


4.You’re too focused on perfecting your grammar and vocabulary



Making mistakes are normal! In fact, they are supposed to happen. When you make a mistake, you focus extra hard to ensure you don’t make the same mistake twice. You will now better remember the word and know how to correctly use it in the future.

Many people who learn English want their grammar and vocabulary to be perfect, but the truth is it doesn’t have to be perfect because we all make mistakes sometimes.


5.You’re not studying in a way that benefits you



When it comes to learning English, it is very important to do it in a way that is beneficial to you. If you are learning speaking English in a way that is too boring or too hard for you, then you will begin to lose interest and stop learning English all together!
