    <description>Learn a Language...Or Maybe Three!
The Fluent Show is on a mission to help you get excited about language learning. We learn languages every day in our lives, and have learnt over 15 different languages between us.
We share stories, news, tips, and ideas that will make you fluent...eventually. Subscribe to the show today to get your regular dose of Fluent love.
It is worth clarifying that we actively want to support anti-racism and will highlight and advocate for the equality of all. Language learning means committing to tolerance of other world views, and this open mind is a core value for me. This topic deserves well considered words so here are the best Kerstin managed to put together. (https://www.fluent.show/blacklivesmatter)

  <description>&lt;p&gt;This episode is about habits and how we build and create them. Listen to find out what our tendencies are and how we use them to make our language routines.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
&lt;li&gt;What motivates us to do things?&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
&lt;li&gt;What motivates us to keep going?&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Do you set yourself goals and always meet them?&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Or do you hate goals?&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Are you likely to spend weeks just looking for the perfect textbook before you start?&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Or are goals only meaningful when others set them for you?&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Or do you only set them when they make sense?&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;h2&gt;Do This:&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;p&gt;In the episode, we dove deep into the Four Tendencies Framework developed by Gretchen Rubin, which is all about how you motivate yourself to keep going and to do things.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Take this &lt;a href="http://bit.ly/HabitsQuiz" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;quiz&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; before or during the show to get the most out of it. Can't wait to read about your results!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;We answer a bunch of intriguing questions in this episode such as:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
&lt;li&gt;How can you use your tendency for language learning?&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
&lt;li&gt;What is the best ever way of researching language learning methods?&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Which tendency is perfect for the ultimate self-guided language learner?&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Do some tendencies profit more from classes and masterminds than others?&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
