  • You deserve to enjoy the learning process. You can make it fun. You can do better than grasshoppers and ants. #
  • I would go so far as to say you're pretty much *only* learning when you're having fun with it. #
  • Boredom is actually useful information; your brain is doing you a favor and telling you it's not taking any calls. #
  • Masochism makes you stupid. You start to equate suffering with effectiveness; you default to "hurt(=bore) myself". #fun #
  • "I must be learning, this hurts so much and makes me sleepy and makes me want to be somewhere else". No. #fun #

  • Japanese shouldn't be something you have to escape from, it should be something you escape to. #fun #
  • Have a sense of entitlement. You are entitled to consume and produce real, natural Japanese. It belongs to you. #
