You might have taken a break from learning because you feel there’s been little progress or life simply gets too busy.

Do you ever wonder how some LingoDeer members keep up a streak like 365 days?

Here’s a tip on how to stay motivated throughout 2020 -- find your aha moment.

Just like you, at first, many LingoDeer users faced difficulty learning a foreign language, but with their effort and our help, they discovered their AHA moment

in using the language to connect with love ones;

> Being able to speak a little to my parents in korean and them looking at me shocked xD like woaaah you can speak korean

in their classroom at school;

> during my Japanese finals, the Professor decided to have us recognize a kanji (pronunciation + meaning) that she only really showed us once during the year, nobody had any idea except me... ‘cause I had learnt it through LingoDeer [pic.twitter.com/XhOvLMa9v2](https://t.co/XhOvLMa9v2?ref=blog.lingodeer.com)

in consuming media content in a new language;

> My aha moment was when I started understanding random things from Japanese media after using LingoDeer for a month or so. From darkness to some comprehension, very pleasant experience!

in remembering important personal stories...

> My aha moment was after my high school Japanese teacher passed away, I finally started working through my Japanese again after years of not studying, and it all started to come back to me.

Anyone can learn a new language if the motivation is strong!
