What Is the Real Secret to Learning a Language? (Patreon)

Never give up.

You wear that motherlover down, like a lead actress in a romantic comedy; you approach her with sheer persistence. So, really, the opposite of modern romance (lol).

You just hang around her (the language, not people...it's called stalking if you do it to people; yes, this is certified professional legal advice) for so long that she yields all her secrets to you. All of them. That scar, the snaggletooth story, that one time her mom swore like a rapper. You can tell I'm bad at making up secrets hahaha.

But seriously though...

How long do you keep trying? Until.

Until what?

Until. Just until.

If you don't give up until you get good, only two things can happen to you: death (for unrelated reasons) or awesomeness. Not such bad choices :) . 

You will get good, because you're not going anywhere. And if you keep getting better (and/or not getting worse, thanks to SRS), time is on your side.
