Good Student vs. Bad Student: Which One Are You?

In the journey of learning a new language, especially German, the mindset and approach you bring to the table make all the difference. As a language coach, I’ve seen firsthand how attitudes and behaviors can influence the outcomes of my students. So, which category do you fall into: a good student or a bad student?

The Good Student

Commitment and Dedication:

A good student is fully committed to their learning goals. They prioritize their German studies, dedicating consistent time and effort. They understand that fluency requires regular practice and are willing to put in the work daily.

Openness to Feedback:

Good students are open to constructive feedback. They don’t see corrections as criticisms but as opportunities for improvement. They actively seek advice and use it to enhance their skills.

Proactive Learning:

Instead of waiting for instructions, good students take initiative. They practice speaking German at every opportunity, engage with additional resources, and ask questions when they don’t understand something.

Resilience and Persistence:

Learning a new language is a marathon, not a sprint. Good students persevere through challenges, maintain a positive attitude, and keep pushing forward even when it gets tough. They celebrate small victories and use setbacks as learning experiences.

Accountability:

Good students take responsibility for their learning journey. They set clear goals, track their progress, and hold themselves accountable for meeting their study commitments.

The Bad Student

Lack of Commitment:

Bad students lack the dedication needed for consistent progress. They might start with enthusiasm but quickly lose interest or give up when faced with challenges.

Resistance to Feedback:

Instead of welcoming feedback, bad students often become defensive. They might see corrections as personal attacks rather than helpful guidance, hindering their growth.

Passive Learning:

Bad students tend to be passive learners. They rely solely on scheduled classes and don’t engage in additional practice or seek out extra resources. They wait for learning to happen to them instead of actively making it happen.

Easily Discouraged:

When faced with difficulties, bad students are quick to give up. They might feel overwhelmed by the learning process and lack the persistence to push through tough times.

Lack of Accountability:

Bad students often fail to take responsibility for their learning. They might make excuses for missing study sessions or blame external factors for their lack of progress.
