LOTS OF LOVE AND CARING

 

Lots of Love and Caring

 

Loving the culture and the value of a language is an enabler to learn a language faster.

 

Your love helps to grow knowledge about a language naturally and progressively.

 

If it is not possible, 

at least, try to be as curious as possible and open yourself to what it offers to you.

 

You are likely to enjoy what it provides for you.

 

If you make up your mind to learn a new language for whatever reasons are, 

you need to accept its culture and value to a certain degree because they are all going to become ingrained in you.

 

If you resist this transformation, your language-learning lags.

 

A typical example is that you start to live in a foreign country as an expat.

 

The cultures and the values that the country provides is not within your interest.

 

However, the company where you work obligates you to learn a foreign language.

You are likely to learn to a language slower. 

It is distressing to learn something that does not interest you.

When the environment requires you to transform to someone who needs to speak a language and you resist it, 

you will suffer.

 

You move to another country. 

You do not know a spoken language there.

 

The school education system goes the same path when a foreign language is an obligatory subject in education. 

You don’t like it much and you will suffer. 

Try to be realistic.

Try to think that 

“Anyways, I need to stay here. Why not we try to get as much as possible from this while enjoying time”. 

We do not know what the future holds. 

We do not know 

how what you learn today will connect leads to your future.

Finally, 

caring means that you need the maintenance of a language-learning. 

Especially, when you are just about to begin to learn a new language, 

your acquired language ability is subject to losing quickly.

You need to review the state of your language learning regularly to avoid redoing what you learned before. 

The philosophy of Epictetus tells you that you just borrowed it and returned it. 

Never say of anything, “I have lost it”. 

If your language ability is compromised, you can borrow it again.
