John has a strong incentive to learn English.

Hi,
Does "incentive" in the above amount to "motive?" Thanks.

Hi, This makes me think that someone has, for example, said to John, 'I'll give you a million dollars if you learn English'. In other words, it sounds like the stimulus comes from outside of John. Clive

Thanks, Clive.
To make sure I got it right, does "incentive" imply the stimulus comes from inside of Jo

Hi,
No, it tends to suggest that the desire to learn English comes from 'outside of' John.
