| Peter: Listeners, what's your reason for learning a language? |
| Chigusa: Is it a personal goal? A hobby? |
| Peter: Whatever your reason is, whether big or small, listeners... knowing it... |
| Chigusa: ...and talking about it, or sharing it, is super important for your success. |

| Chigusa: Alright, so why is it important to know your reason for learning? |
| Peter: Great question. More often than not, your reason is directly related to your goal... |
| Chigusa: So something like... “I want to live in the country where the language is spoken.” |
| Peter: That’s a good one. Or “I want to understand the culture, movies, and music.” |
| Chigusa: But I think it can also be something simple like... “I’m just interested in the language.” |
| Peter: Exactly. But, if you know your reason... you’ll always remember what got you started in the first place. And as a result, you’ll maintain your motivation and keep going. |
| Chigusa: Now, Peter, what about sharing your reason with others? Why should a learner do this? |
| Peter: By the way, when I say sharing, I don’t mean bragging about goals like “I’ll be fluent in 10 months.” But rather… “I’m learning because…of this and that.” Real reasons. |
| Chigusa: I see. |
| Peter: So when you talk about your reason for learning with others, you remind yourself indirectly. It’ll always be on top of your mind. And the more you think about it…? |
| Chigusa: …the more likely you are to do it. Plus, you set an expectation, don’t you? Your friends now see you as someone who’s actively learning a language… |
| Peter: Exactly. And that’s powerful, because that’s now part of your identity. Your identity is now someone that’s aiming to speak the language at a high level. Also, you convince yourself that you can and will learn the language. |
| Chigusa: Ah, that’s a good point. A lot of people think they can’t learn a language… |
| Peter: They think they don’t have the time for it... or usually the talent for it, as was the case with myself. |
| Chigusa: Really? And that’s not true at all. All you need is the confidence to just start. So listeners, what’s your reason for learning? Share it with us. |
| Peter: And if you’re interested in what other language learners are saying... |
| Chigusa: We’ve asked. Here are the Top 10 Reasons for Learning a Language. |
| Peter: Number One: I love the culture and the people who speak the language. |
| Chigusa: This is a popular answer, especially amongst our Japanese and Korean learners. |
| Peter: Number Two: I want to understand songs, movies, and TV shows. Also a very popular reason! |
| Chigusa: That’s right. And listeners – songs, movies, and shows are great ways to immerse yourself in the language! |
| Peter: If you’re spending your time learning AND also immersing yourself, you’re guaranteed to learn faster. |
| Chigusa: Number Three: It's a beautiful language. |
| Peter: You know, sometimes, an answer as simple as that is good enough. |
| Chigusa: Yeah, it means you have a genuine interest in the language itself. |
| Peter: Number Four: My family comes from a place where the language is spoken. |
| Chigusa: The fifth one is similar: I want to speak to my partner's family in their language. |
| Peter: The sixth one is kind of similar: I am learning the language to impress someone. |
| Chigusa: Listeners, are you learning a language to impress or talk to someone special? |
| Peter: That’s definitely a powerful motivator. The seventh one is... Ah, this one, you should say... |
| Chigusa: Yes, yes, yes, please let me say it! I love traveling! |
| Peter: This probably should be number one. Number Eight: I live... or... want to live in a country that speaks the language. |
| Chigusa: Number Nine: I just love learning languages! |
| Peter: What’s great about this is...if you’ve learned one language... some say, it’s EASIER to learn another. |
| Chigusa: Because you learn HOW to learn a language, right? |
| Peter: Exactly, Chigusa. If you learn one, you develop the habits and know-how to master another. |
| Chigusa: And the last one, Number Ten: It’s just a personal goal. |
| Peter: We hear this a lot. Especially from learners that stopped, took a break… and came back. |
| Chigusa: Yeah, if you have a goal that you wanted to do, but never did... |
| Peter: ...you want to come back to it and get it done. So, Chigusa, based on these reasons, you could say most people learn for love, for family… |
| Chigusa: ...traveling or self improvement! |
| Peter: To be honest, I’m a little surprised money is not on this list. Bilingual people have a better chance to make a little bit more money. Listeners, why are you learning? Leave us a comment right now. |
