You’ve been presenting some really important and hard to nail down, subtle concepts, regarding motivation, “de-motivation”, and sort of getting a shot in the arm of encouragement, by having a social support system, and even wise guidance from those who have taken the journey the before us. I’ve been “at it” for decades and honestly, these ideas can be •very• hard to frame. . I think you’ve done it beautifully.
when can one consider herself like at a valid place to be. i dabble in 6-7 langauges and i struggle to find put when i have reached a point where i can start a new language and passive continue old one
Great question! It is really tricky when you are involved in different languages. Trying to improve all of them at the same time is complicated, and might feel like none of them are moving forward. I also struggle with it, but what I tend to do is decide to focus for let's say half a year on one while passively enjoying the others on occasion. But I guess finding this 'valid place' really depends on your aspirations. Being able to enjoy the culture, even if just through memes, books, movies or friends is a pretty big thing for me. But if you want to use the language professionally, then you should probably be more demanding with the level before you change to another one.
Absolutely wonderful.
