The concept behind the 10 minutes a day''

—approach is exactly that do a httle bit

every day. Most of us learning a foreign
language are enthusiastic and want to
master the language, if not immediately,

at least within the first few hours! We

assemble books and dictionaries, then jump

in for the attack. This intensity and focus

can resemble dieters on New Year's Day.

—The results can also be similar focus

turns to frustration if the results are not

enormous. Unfortunately, enthusiasm
frequently becomes avoidance until one is

convinced that the goal can't be reached

and eventually stops, either dieting or

learning a language.

The 10 minutes a day® approach is designed n
for you to succeed. Spend a little time every

day on your new language; during coffee

breaks or your commuting time can be ideal.

You are not required to spend an hour or

even the full ten minutes. What is important

is that you do something every day. As soon

as you find your mind wandering, mark

—your spot in the book in the middle of
—Steps, anywhere you happen to be and

i stop.

Do not overdo. Let the process be fun.

There is no set speed or time limit. You set

your own pace. If you are enjoying what

you are learning, don't stop even if you have

been working for an hour. If, on the other

hand, you have been concentrating for ten

$17.95 U.S. minutes and you need a break, stop and

new language.
