10 Inspirational Quotes for Learners

Jee-Maico Chapman

Whether you are learning English or any language, for that matter, it can be very easy at times to lose sight of our goals, and absolutely lose our motivation to move on or study further. It is very understandable that when students hit a road block, it can sometimes be overwhelming, and can cause frustrations – as a language teacher, I understand this very well, and I am here for you. 

If today, is one of those days that you cannot simply open another grammar book, or learn a new vocabulary, or even master another phonetic sound. Then, welcome! You have come to the right place. Here are some motivational quotes that might help bring back some positivity in your learning, and to your final destination – the road to success.

1. "Motivation is what gets you started. Habit is what keeps you going." - Jim Ryun

2. "You cannot discover new oceans if you don't lose sight of the shore." - Unknown

3. "You will never be ready, just start." - Unknown

4. "A foreign language is like a frail, delicate muscle. If you don't use it, it weakens." - Jhumpa Lahiri

5. "You can." - Unknown

6. "What we learn with pleasure, we never forget." - Alfred Mercier

7. "One language sets you in a corridor for life. Two languages opens every door along the way." - Frank Smith

9. "Teacher can open the door, but you must enter it yourself." - Chinese Proverb
