📝 TOEIC Beginner, Where to Start?

Your First Step to Avoid Burnout

You’ve decided to take on the TOEIC.
You opened a textbook.
You downloaded a few apps.
You watched some YouTube videos.
And then… you froze.

Why does everyone else seem to already know what to do?
Where’s the clear “first step” for people starting from zero?

Let’s fix that — right now.

🧭 Start Where You Are. Really.

Most beginners quit not because they’re lazy — but because they try to do too much, too fast.

They think they need:

  • A full grammar textbook

  • 60-minute study blocks every day

  • Some magic method that makes everything stick instantly

They don’t.

If you’re just starting, your only goal is simple:
Start a habit. Not a perfect one. Just a real one.

⏱️ Try This: 10 Minutes a Day

Set a timer for 10 minutes.

Open a notebook and write the day: “Day 1”

Pick one simple English word or sentence. Write it. Speak it aloud. Write your own example.
Done? Great. That’s your first step.

Do it again tomorrow.

You’ve just started a momentum loop — and that’s way more powerful than a downloaded PDF or fancy app.

🌱 You Don’t Need Everything. Just Something Small to Begin.

You don’t need to buy a bunch of books.
You don’t need a perfect plan.
You just need:

  • A notebook

  • A pen

  • A phone timer

  • A clear reason why this matters to you

That last one? That’s the anchor.

Are you doing this to change jobs?
To prove something to yourself?
To feel confident again?

Write that reason down on page 1 of your notebook.

💬 Ask for Guidance When You Need It

No one gets extra points for doing everything alone.

If you’re stuck, confused, or overwhelmed — talk to someone.

Even our AI assistant on this site can help you get started.
(And it won’t judge you for asking!)

🎯 The Hardest Part is Starting — But You Just Did.

You don’t need to be perfect.
You don’t need to be fluent.
You don’t even need to be confident — not yet.

All you need is to begin.

You did that today.
Now… do it again tomorrow.

Let the momentum carry you.
We’re here when you’re ready for the next step.
