year, I decided that I wanted to improve my grammar in that language. All I had was a

book and some worksheets. I did make some progress, but it was boring, boring, boring!

Since then, I have learned to love grammar. But what I needed at that time was a motivating

method to learn grammar well.

So here's my advice to anyone else who considers grammar to be boring.

First, have a teacher--a real person that you not only read but also hear and see.

Second, get into a community of learners--a group of people who are learning the same

language that you are learning. Find a friendly community of motivated learners. This community

can encourage you and help you learn.

Third, tell yourself every day why you are learning, why you want to become a better

person. When we know why we are doing something, our motivation increases.

Maybe you need to remember a commitment that you made to improve.

Maybe you need to imagine what you will be able to do when you are fluent.

If grammar is boring or frustrating for you, I believe that following these tips can lead

to successful results.

During that winter break while I was in college, I thought grammar was boring. Over the years

since then, I have learned to enjoy grammar. The grammar of a language is beautiful; it

really is. For me, that's the strongest motivation to learn the grammar of a language.

But many language learners consider grammar to be boring. I understand; I also used to

think that grammar is boring. Until you actually learn to enjoy grammar, try following the

three tips that I just gave.
