About

I am, first and foremost, a life-long learner. I have struggled with pretty much every aspect of language learning, and can relate to just about every obstacle one might find on their way.

For many years I had the wrong attitude, and it took me many more years to reverse it. As a matter of fact, this book was born as a way for me to understand what I was doing so wrong .

I wrote this book for myself.

It has been a long journey. At some point, I thought that, with a bit more work, it could be valuable to you as well. “A bit” turned out to be an unsurmountable amount, but hey, work dignifies, isn’t it?

So here we are. Coming to think of it, that’s the theme that runs through the whole book. Hard work dignifies.

Happy learning, wherever you are. This is the way.
