Recap | How to have a good learning experience

How much you need to have good goals and habits depends on what you struggle with.

Often, the effectiveness of motivation techniques hinges on repetition. Visualizing your success once might excite you for a few minutes, but doing it daily can have a lasting impact. The key observation is that you call the shots.

You might only have a mild curiosity for some languages and just want to know some phrases and how they sound. That’s fine. Approach the language without expectations and see where it takes you.

Don’t drift for a long time, though. It will make you feel that you have invested a lot and learned very little, even if you never agreed with yourself that you would try to learn a lot.

Try again. Fail again. Fail better.

―Samuel Beckett
