"Stop obsessing over language learning When you stop obsessing over the language and start focusing on something you actually care about everything changes. Learning becomes easier. You come back because youre curious not because you should. You stop constantly judging your progress. And over time comprehension grows naturally. Fluency isnt built by staring at the language. Its built by forgetting about it and getting absorbed in something meaningful. language learning steve kaufmann language learning steve kaufmann"
