Tips 086: How to Build Confidence with Ruan De Witt (Part 2 of 2)

Confidence in language learning is huge. Those who think they can and those who think that can’t are probably right. 

This mindset episode of the podcast is part 2 of a two part interview I did with a close friend of mine, Ruan De Witt.

You can listen to part 1 here.

Ruan is an extremely confident person, even if he doesn’t like to admit it. As long as I have known him, he has had the ability to start a conversation with a complete stranger. This includes doing so in a language other than this first—regardless of his skill level.

In this part of the interview:

• I ask Ruan where does his confidence come from?


• How can other language students find confidence, even if they are starting out.


• What is a good target to set yourself for the number of words you should learn each day.


• How to find time for learning language.


• How to improve your pronunciation.


• Finding the high value parts of the language.

What is the biggest lesson for you in this part of the interview?
