Survey Finds Nearly 60% of English Learners Have Given Up Midway. What Are the Reasons for Quitting?

A survey conducted by NEXER Inc. and Money English among 177 experienced English learners revealed that nearly 60% have given up on their studies midway. The primary reasons for quitting were "being too busy and lacking time," "difficulty seeing progress," and "inability to maintain motivation." About 30% of those who quit expressed a desire to learn again, with motivations often tied to personal enjoyment such as "overseas travel" and "hobbies." The results suggest that setting clear, personal goals is crucial for sustained learning.
