The importance of finding your own motivation

Motivation is a crucial aspect of language learning, but it is important to find your own personal motivation. Many times, our motivation is influenced by external messages and perspectives, rather than our own desires. Instead of regurgitating what others say we should want, it is essential to reflect and understand our true motivations for learning a language. The speaker encourages listeners to think beyond external validation and consider the deeper benefits of feeling comfortable and confident in using the language. Language ownership and fluency offer a sense of control and permission to communicate freely without holding back.
