Tip #3 - Do a little, often

Be active
Seems like a fairly simple tip to carry out. I mean, be active, how hard can it be? Well, if you compare it to going on a diet, starting a training routine or any other new endeavour intended to bring us new habits and benefits then you will understand that it's fairly easy to slack off. (Why is it so easy to have bad habits, and so hard to have good ones?)

It's easy to say I won't read that article or open my language learning book now because I'm a little tired. Or I can't put the CD in the player because hmm, it's in my pocket and then I have to open it....etc. But you MUST at least decide I WILL be active often. Just 5 minutes is all it takes.

And that does not mean you even need to move. Just sit back and think about the language you are learning. Try to project yourself into a situation you are using it in, do mental flashcards of new vocabulary. Anything at all as long as you are doing it in the language you want to learn and you do it often, and it will benefit you. Keep doing that for a couple of months and where will you be then?

Yepp, it's that simple.
