Revelation I had: I really don& #39;t enjoy actively developing skills when they& #39;re low level. I get so frustrated and only seem to progress when I somehow get past that first level of not being shit...

(usually by doing it so infrequently that I don& #39;t notice, and doing that until I& #39;m not shit, which takes an age). I& #39;ve noticed it with piano, guitar, art and now language learning. The weird thing is, I easily pick up the theory and concepts, but just can& #39;t retain the basic shit

So with language learning, I can tell you all about the different language learning theories, the intricacies of dialects, techniques to get around weird vowel sounds and the history of a language, but I still can& #39;t say & #39;how was your weekend?& #39; in Norwegian without help.
