學習一門新語言，製定目標和實踐

學習另一種語言對你的事業有利（尤其是英語，它已經成為商業世界的通用語言）。無論你需要流利程度還是僅僅是工作知識，有計劃都有幫助。

首先，為你的學習製定明確的目標。决定你想做什麼（“我會流利地用英語做報告……”）以及什麼時候（……，下個季度末）。然後在實踐中創造習慣。

也許你可以每天讀一篇新文章的行業文章，或者寫下你每週的團隊工作報告。不要把學習變成枯燥乏味的東西。

如果你發現自己害怕練習，重新考慮你的方法：例如，閱讀你最喜歡的書的翻譯版本，或者參加一門用語言教的烹飪課。

最重要的是，相信自己。如果你的目標開始變得無法實現，那就讓它們變小或更容易管理，直到你重新獲得信心。

To Learn a New Language, Set Goals and Practice

Learning another language can be a boon to your career (especially English, which has become the lingua franca of the business world). Whether you need total fluency or just a working knowledge, having a plan can help.

To start, set specific goals for your learning. Decide what you want to be able to do (“I will comfortably deliver a presentation in English…”) and by when (“…before the end of next quarter”). Then create habits around practicing.

Maybe you could read one industry article a day in the new language, or write your weekly team updates in it. And don’t turn learning into a slog.

If you find yourself dreading practice time, rethink your approach: Read the translated version of your favorite book, for example, or enroll in a cooking class that’s taught in the language.

Most important of all, believe in yourself. If your goals start to seem unachievable, make them smaller or more manageable until you regain your confidence.
