I tried to stay away from language learning for 6 weeks to focus on a major medical exam, but I find that I NEED to go over language texts or listen to a foreign language in order to feel better during my day. I’m still not studying any language, but every day I review some Chinese characters (5-15 minutes a day), and will either watch a few short youtube videos in a different language or read a short text in German.
Do you have the same problem? While actively studying a language though, this passion is not enough for true progress. This energy, desire, and excitement needs structure and framework to make true progress, however, this passion is the energy, that with solid framework and organization, will lead to fluency and improvements in speaking foreign languages.
