ANECDOTE

Daily Mini-Missions Abroad

  • Mark used a daily mini-mission while visiting Ljubljana to practise a tiny bit of Slovenian each day.
  • Repeating small interactions built his confidence and made short exchanges feel natural by the trip's end.
INSIGHT

Small Steps Build Real Progress

  • Progress usually comes in many small steps that fit into your real life rather than giant leaps.
  • Starting to use the language early, even imperfectly, accelerates growth and builds layers of competence.
ADVICE

Use Small Moments For Practice

  • Turn everyday moments like walking or commuting into language practice by narrating or naming what you see.
  • Use quiet repetition (counting steps, naming objects) to reinforce vocabulary without formal study.
