The Value of Motivation Advice

My motivation behind writing this blog is that I had no other ideas.
January 28, 2020January 27, 2020 ~ bats ~ Leave a comment

I’ve talked before about how a lot of the general discourse of language learning as it exists online is centered on motivation.  Which makes sense, as it’s probably the single largest failure point in a hopeful learner’s journey.  Motivation dwindles as time and difficulty ramp up, until you start missing days here and there, shrug, … Continue reading The Value of Motivation Advice

My Failures Learning Spanish

If we don't discuss my errors, do we still have to acknowledge them?

Yearly Themes for 2020

The real yearly theme is, as always, hoping it's better than last year.
January 7, 2020January 13, 2020 ~ bats ~ 8 Comments

So here we are in 2020.  After spending the last month or so reflecting on stuff that’s happened up to this point, it’s now a new year, which comes with new things to look forward to.  Last year had its ups and downs, but trended toward positive for me, and I hope that continues onward.  … Continue reading Yearly Themes for 2020
