So, I think everyone experienced Language fatigue at some point, where, whatever method you chose, you just can't make yourself do it at certain days. So how do you do it nevertheless? The key is to make it accessible and in your face when you're doing some activity which is relaxing to you so that even when you feel tired, you will kinda do it automatically. Don't force yourself though, this is entirely optional. For example, when I feel fatigue, all I do, is open a Clozemaster window halfway on the screen while having some video or something else on the other half. I don't actually have to do theClozemaster quizzes, but I do it passively while I watch regardless. It isn't particularly hard and I don't force myself to do it, I just do it automatically. It's interesting how a simple trick can make you do something even when you're demotivated in doing it. And it works super well, if a video is 50 minutes for example, then I could complete 2000 reviews.  ...

Now, I am going to propose a quite radical notion and that is that YOU don't learn a language, the language learns itself! What am I talking about? You may be sitting at home and think that the time you spend learning a language is you learning, is you absorbing new information, but that's not quite right. The learning process happens by itself, the only thing that you decide is whether to do it or not. The actual learning is independent from your choice. A language siphons itself into your brain bit by bit, via memory, but can you control memory? No, you can't, what you remember and what you forget is not up to you to decide, it's a process which happens over and over. For proof of that, open the Anki app with top 100 words in a language. Once you go over the first review, did you remember everything the first time? Of course not! It's an iterative process which you cannot control! When you remember something, when you manage to finally absorb it, is unknown to ...

So, why learn a language to read theory as intended? Especially given multiple translations which more or less do the job? Well, reading a piece in its original allows you to discern any hidden meaning along with better understanding the culture of the author. Poetry is especially difficult to translate and should really only be appreciated by the speakers of the original language. Goethe doesn't sound so epic in English as he does in German . Access to another world of research materials, news and information: If you only know English, then you're really limiting yourself in terms of the sort of research that you can do, you practically are limited to Marxists.org , libcom.org or other sites however there exists another world of modern theoreticians, especially from Russia and China that are simply not available to the English speaking audience.
