26: The 3 Most Common Reasons for Dropping Out of a Course
I asked on social and our newsletter, and you said you were very interested in reasons for dropping out of the Armenian, Georgian and Azerbaijani courses. So today we'll talk about what are the 3 most common reasons for dropping out! And some remedies as well.I've collected data from the last three years of Jezyki Kaukazu courses – both group and individual – and we'll discuss the three most common reasons. We're fortunate enough to know why people drop out in over 90% of cases, so I'll share the perspective of our students.But I wouldn't be myself if I didn't add to these reasons for dropping out a remedy, how to prevent them – wherever possible. I think that when you sign up for a course and have to drop out, it's a rather sad situation, so I'll try to help you eliminate it.Useful links: Text version of the episodeStudy with usJoin our newsletterLet's meet for 15-minute slot and discuss your study
