I feel perfectly comfortable learning languages on my own, but sometimes it can feel lonely. I am not saying that I necessarily need somebody to study together with; sometimes I find it even motivational just to read about somebody who is learning a language, about his or her struggles and achievements. So, just reading about a fellow language learner can help me feel not so lonely in my learning journey, and it helps me feel motivated. Today I was surrounded by such people even though it was just on the internet. My friend has recently started studying for a master's degree, and one of the subjects that she should study is English. Sometimes she shares about her learning process on the internet, and I find it also enormously motivational to read about her language learning journey. Today I was so motivated to learn English that I woke up with the thought “I’m going to learn English,” and it filled my heart with a lot of joy. The problems that usually start disturbing me even at the start of the day suddenly seem to be so unimportant. I remember the thought that crossed my mind today in the morning. I said to myself, “I don’t care about these problems, because I'm going to learn English today.” The learning process is so interesting and enjoyable that sometimes it fills me with so much joy that I start feeling more optimistic about myself and my life. Maybe it can become my motto: “I don’t care about these problems; I am going to learn languages, science, et cetera, and anything else doesn't matter.” This strategy can even help to solve problems. It seems to be not so rational a strategy to be so much focused on problems if the solution often comes when the mind is preoccupied with other things, for example, with learning something new and exciting.
