Language 180
by Preston Fidler
Integrating the twin Great Commission tasks of language learning and gospel communication, Language 180 gets to the heart of gospel fluency across cultures. Language 180 is a reorientation, a complete pivot in perspective: We're reminded that language learning is something we don’t have to do before we share the gospel, rather something we get to do while we share the gospel.Language 180 is a reminder to persevere when we're tempted to plateau. Language 180 also refers to the minutes we spend every day in ongoing learning toward a sustained lifestyle of evangelism and discipleship in the language. In other words, through Language 180 we practice learning the language to communicate the gospel 3 hours per day, 60 minutes in each of three activities - personal preparation (1st hour), deliberate practice (2nd hour), and fluent proclamation (3rd hour) - for a total of 180 minutes each day.

We get to do this!
What makes a successful language learner? Is it brains? Social or cultural awareness? Memorability? Discipline? It's all of that, in part. But it's way more than that. In the end, aptitude is overtaken by something far more significant: our attitude. I call it, “We get to do this!”
