Truer words have never been written. Screw Jared – he’s just a pretender. Khatz is the real deal!!

“What if I were Jared in The Pretender and I had to fool people in to believing I was Japanese, or else be killed?”
This is what I meant by hostage situation. 😛

Judging by comments alone, I’d say these question posts are both forgotten, yet probably the most important posts in all of AJATT-land. Sure, you can spread the good teachings of the methods you developed after the fact that you accomplished fluency… but it’s very hard to specifically lay the tools to build a language-learning psychology. As Tony Robbins would say, all success is 80% psychology and 20% mechanics. You can have the best kung-fu-learning methods and have the best teachers, but if you don’t ask the right/necessary/optimal questions, you’ll never have the psychology worth mastery.
This also makes me wonder, and conclude: if the whole section of the personal development industry that focuses on affirmations, instead focused on questions, I would say we’d have some personally developed hunks and hunkettes running around everywhere. Because nobody can really throw anything at you that you MUST develop within yourself. I’d say questioning is a fatally unrealized tool, only common to success (see Tim Ferriss, Anthony Robbins. Tim Ferriss’ whole success is based on taking the question “What’s the worst that could happen?” to its full extent, thus defining fears etc.).
I think it’d be useful to meditate (in every meaning of the word) on these questions, and let it all flow in its own time. I certainly realize, from your success story, that these questions were essential. From the “What if I were a Japanese baby?”, to “What if I was in a hostage situation that required my full ability in Japanese?”. I’m forgetting some, but I remember you mentioning them.
