  • Hey guys this video is gonna be about what you can do to break out of your comfort zones when learning languages

  • And I honestly believe that your comfort zone is

  • One of the things that is holding you back from learning your language more than anything else

  • And last week I made a video about this

  • I talked about how having fear of making mistakes

  • Or you know having an accent or a fear of screwing up your language is

  • Actually one of the things that will stop you from learning the most so today

  • I want to talk about what you can do to actually get out of your comfort zone because this is hard

  • I mean last week

  • I made it seem like all you had to do is just forget about your fears and just be more confident

  • But clearly it's not that easy but fortunately the good thing is that

  • Anything can be learned with practice anything no matter what skill

  • We're talking about you can learn to become better at that skill with practice and that includes leaving your comfort zone

  • Now at first leaving your comfort zone is really hard because it's uncharted territory

  • It's something that you've never done before but if you start to intentionally practice it

  • Then you will start to see that it does become easier, and it's not as scary as you thought it was

  • so

  • What does that mean you want to put yourself in difficult situations?

  • That are gonna help you become more comfortable with it and the key is that you're doing this intentionally you are

  • purposefully putting yourself in difficult

  • Situations so that you can become a better person and a better language learner so one of the things that I do is what I

  • Call comfort zone challenges

  • and these are little challenges that I make for myself that purposely bring me out of my comfort zone and

  • Last year I did a few videos of myself doing comfort zone challenges in real life

  • And these don't all have to do with language learning these are

  • Challenges that are geared toward making you a more bold and confident person in general in every part of your life

  • But they are really useful in language learning as you'll see if you're trying if you're gonna try this technique

  • So I'm going to show you a video of a comfort zone challenge

  • That I did last summer back when I still had really long hair, so take a look at this video

  • So last night, I watched a TED talks by a guy that does what he calls rejection therapy and

  • Basically you just put yourself in embarrassing situations

  • intentionally and

  • You it's kind of like an exercise as a way just to teach yourself not to care what other people think of you and so

  • You just ask

  • random strangers

  • Different things that you know for sure they're just gonna say no to and I thought it was a great idea

  • So I'm gonna start doing this starting today, and the first thing on his list was go up to a stranger and ask them for

  • $100 and so I'm at Jewel Osco

  • Somewhere in Illinois, and I'm just gonna go find someone in this parking lot

  • For $100 and I'm gonna put my camera right here in this pocket

  • So I don't know if the camera is actually gonna show their face or not

  • I'm not gonna be controlling the camera, and I'm I'm not gonna look at it

  • But I'm ready to go get rejected

  • Excuse me sir

  • Could I borrow $100?

  • No. I don't have $100

  • Oh, you're kind of like me then yeah, all right, well, you know anyone that does

  • All right, all right. Thank you

  • All right first one was not too bad

  • It was kind of weird

  • But not hard so they get a little bit weirder and more difficult as you go along, but the first one

  • I guess is intended to be like kind of just getting your feet wet into the rejection therapy

  • So I'm pretty excited that was actually kind of fun in a weird way

  • I don't know why, but I enjoy it

  • And I'm looking forward to doing more so if any you guys have ideas for things that you can do

  • Basically, I'm gonna be going through his list of a hundred things to get rejected about but if you have any ideas let me know

  • Or if you want to join me

  • Let me know. It's fun. So yes. I know that was a silly challenge like it felt weird

  • it just wasn't normal and

  • that's the point because

  • Walking up to someone and asking for a hundred dollars is definitely not something

  • I'm used to doing because it makes me feel like a beggar

  • or I don't know it just is uncomfortable especially when you're talking to strangers about this and

  • That's the point you're intentionally putting yourself in difficult situations, and you're intentionally

  • Stretching yourself and leaving your comfort zone, and that's when you'll start to realize that leaving your comfort zone

  • Isn't as hard as you think it is now

  • You don't have to do the exact same comfort zone challenge that I did

  • But your homework for this week is to think of something you can do that is uncomfortable

  • It's difficult

  • And it's gonna make you feel weird

  • Then do that thing leave your comfort zone and become a better language learner by doing it

  • Thanks for watching the video and we'll see you guys next week

Hey guys this video is gonna be about what you can do to break out of your comfort zones when learning languages
