Importance of Setting Specific Goals
Instead of making vague resolutions to learn a language, it is more effective to set specific goals that are specific, measurable, attainable, relevant, and time-bound (SMART goals). Benny Lewis, the host, emphasizes that having specific goals aligned with the purpose you want to use the language for is crucial. For example, if your goal is to make friends and have a social life in another country, then prioritizing speaking from day one and sharing your language learning journey with others for accountability can be helpful.
