    I will make sure I go through with my goal by adding it to my affirmations in my gratitude journal, I will speak positively to myself and let myself know I Will Be Able To Become Conversationally FLuent In Spanish, and I will make sure I make a schedule that I can stay committed to.

    My schedule is too ambitious and I will fail to reach my goal if I don’t execute every step perfectly. I can scale this back by assigning a small amount of time each day just to work on my listening comprehension. Then after i complete this goal I will move on to the next one and the one after that.

    My goal has changed to I will be able to introduce myself and talk about my emotions in a Dominican Republic Spanish accent by July 31, 2021.

    Activities

    Using the tips I got from your training how to train your ear to learn and understand spanish.

    I have failed to complete similar tasks in the past because I am a perfectionist and everytime I saw something that said it will help me I tried it hoping it will work, but I got no where. I was hoping can you give me some reccomendations on how I should schedule my listening comprehension activities out because I am a high school student and I do take a spanish 1 course, but we do not focus on speaking or listening comprehension we mainly just focus on vocabulary and grammar and this technique has not helped me at all.
