Think about your Motivation
The best students I had during my time in Korea were those who had some motivation beyond a grade in a class or a score on a TOIEC test. They wanted to learn Business English because they were looking for a job that required English (working for a commercial company, flight attendant, fashion designer, etc.) because they wanted to travel the world with a backpack, or because they had an English-speaking cousin. I was learning Or a friend, etc. Anything is better motivation for speaking a language than just getting a score on a test! Think about your motivation. What is it? Say it now! Write it down on a piece of paper. Mount to a bedroom wall or bathroom mirror. Remind yourself, when things are difficult, why are you studying English?
Think about your Goals
Your motivation is why you want to learn English. Your goals are what you want to do in English. Do you want to speak to coworkers in English? Do you need to pass a test for work? Would you like to be accepted as a school or apprentice? In order to be smart about your language learning, you need SMART goals:
Specific- Focus on one single skill; for example, begin, maintain, and end a conversation naturally with discourse markers is a more specific goal than improve conversation skills.
Measurable- Have a tool to assess your progress. If there is no way to measure your development, how will you know when you have reached your goal?
Attainable- Be realistic. While you should aim high, a goal of 100% fluency is un- likely for most people. Arnold Schwarzenegger has an accent despite living in the US for over thirty years. Attainable goals are realistic for both your current level and the amount of time and resources you have to improve your English right now. If you have only one hour to study each week, set lower goals than if you had one hour per day!
Enjoy English
Learning another language can be fun! Of course, some things are not fun; studying vocabulary lists, or figuring out a difficult grammar concept won't be easy. But there are so many cool things! For example:

Don’t Give Up!
It’s normal to get frustrated when learning. You WILL get frustrated when learning English. We guarantee it! You might feel bored, lonely, confused, tired, apathetic, etc. Everyone experiences this. It is important not to give up. Take a short break for a few hours, possibly a day or two. Do something fun that you enjoy. Get some exercise. Eat some healthy food. Take a nap. Talk to your friends and family. Relax with your pet. Then go back to studying. You’ll feel refreshed and ready to keep going. Remember: you are not a robot! People need time to relax. Give your brain a break.
Sleep Enough
According to this Korea Herald survey (http://www.koreaherald.com/view.php?ud=20140218000688), Korean high school students sleep less than 6 hours a night. That’s not enough sleep, especially when you’re studying so much. Your brain needs time to rest and organize the information you learned during the day; this happens when you sleep.
Sleeping also allows you to focus more easily the next day. Of course, you know the difference when trying to study after sleeping only 3-4 hours compared to 7-8 hours. It’s much easier after 7-8 hours! Even though you might be able to study a bit longer when sleeping 3-4 hours, you probably will learn less. Focused study time when you’re well-rested allows you to learn something. Studying when you’re really, really tired is not productive. Do yourself a favour- get enough sleep! You’ll be able to remember what you learned much more effectively.

Work Hard
The bad news is that there are no shortcuts to becoming fluent in English. No magic pill, no magic program. It takes a lot of effort to become fluent in any language.
Experts disagree about the number of study hours required to master the language, but estimates range from 1,000 for him to 2,500 for her. The lower end is for “easier” languages and 2,500 for “harder” languages. The good news is that English is considered one of the easier ones, especially for Europeans or those who speak Spanish. Unfortunately, if you are a native speaker of an Asian language or Arabic, it will be at the “harder” end of the spectrum. So don’t give up, and keep working on it! Be patient with yourself because it will take time to become fluent. The key is to progress each week, month, and year.
