How can Po in Kung Fu Panda be a motivation in language learning?
One of my favorite movies is Kung Fu Panda. Po started off as a panda that was an amateur to becoming very good in kung fu. However, Shifu can not train him in the same way as he had with the Furious Five. With the right motivation, Po can become just as good as they are, if not better than them. In language learning, motivation is very important and is one of the most essential ingredients in language learning. We have to find our motivation(s).

Creativity in pedagogical methods is lacking in so many educational systems. What a great idea to foster motivation by augmenting language learning this way. I love it!

Motivation is one of the most essential ingredients in language learning. Anything that you really want to do in life is generally driven by motivation. Here comes probably the most essential ingredient, which is enthusiasm. I find it much easier to learn languages while having lots of enthusiasm, not treating the language as your enemy, being very motivated and having those motivations.
