If you find yourself navigating between love and hate for your target languages, you're not alone. Our relationship with languages is quite a strange one. They invade our brains and souls gradually and gently, and we can't wait for it to happen. It's like falling in love with the wrong person — you'll pay a high price, but it feels so good while it lasts.

Why we choose some and not others is still a mystery. They don't have any taste or color, they're not noise or music, and they don't look like anything else in the world, but they give us a powerful tool — the perfect one for us to express ourselves in endless ways. All we have to do is let them in.
