Hey dear supporters,

I hope you’ve all been well and safe. On my side, I enjoyed taking a bit of time off from the weekly newsletter and articles, although I have to admit I felt incredibly good earlier today when I finally started to write again the 7 bullet points.

I have quite a few new ideas for the culture and LKL sections so I’m excited to research them more. Well, I guess you already know the LKL part since you probably voted for the next language you want a deep-dive in 😉

I’m a bit frustrated as I didn’t find much time to work on the eBook that’s been on my mind for months, but I’m also realizing it’s because I wanted it to be perfect and, you know, perfection sucks.

I’ll get back to the topic of the eBook someday, but that’s not what I want to chat about today. I want to talk about focus and finding pleasure in language learning.

And, for this, what better than taking my current situation as an example?

Let’s dive in.
