Notes on learning a language

10 Dec 2025

I have been thinking about learning a language a lot lately, so here are a few notes. Learning a language looked simple from the outside, and of course it is not.

Most of what I know about learning a language I learned by getting it wrong first. What I like most about learning a language is that it cannot be rushed.

I will probably add to these notes as I go. More on this another time. Thanks for reading, as always.
