The Path to Fluency

Aiming for mastery in German & Japanese

Beliefs are opinions that you refuse to change

Posted on | February 28, 2012 | 2 Comments

Believing that you have to finish a book out of some sense of duty.
Believing that the methods you choose are the only good ones.
Believing that learning is associated with suffering.
Believing in listening to the same material over and over.

Beliefs can be dangerous. Experiment, mix, be irrational, do what you feel like doing and most importantly, keep changing ;) .

    flattr this!

      So, what did you change?

        Well, I used to think that whenever I read a book I had to read it from the beginning to the end, without skipping a single line. Now I’ve learned to be more lenient about it. If I feel like I start getting into a boring part I feel free to skip a few paragraphs :) .

        Also, I used to listen to songs from 2raumwohnung (A German band) over and over again. In fact, I listened to their songs more than a hundred times each! Now I try to listen to new stuff regularly.

        Of course, all of these methods are subject to change :D .
