A brief synopsis of the video:

Making language studies convenient and easy is very important. It is important for 2 reasons.

1. When the going gets tough - When language learning becomes difficult or a chore students often give up or move on.
2. Natural is better - Language learning is more natural when it is extemporaneous and in the moment.

How to make language learning more convenient:

1. Plan ahead - Make sure that you think ahead about how you can make your language studies more natural. For example if you are in the car and you have satellite radio tune into one of the foreign language stations. Watch the news in Spanish. Make daily activities that you would do normally into language learning opportunities.
2. Use Convenient Tools - Make sure that you have the tools necessary to help you make language learning convenient. A small notepad always at the ready. A very small pocket dictionary. Foreign language music or podcasts on your ipod.
