Leveling

“Those who know nothing of foreign languages know nothing of their own.”

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

In my third semester of Deutsch, I understand that the difficulty of learning a language increases logarithmically. It’s like the skill leveling in a MUD of old. 1x to level up once. 1,000,000,000x to level up ten times.

I feel like I’m in over my head. But I didn’t learn English in 3 semesters. I took my entire life.

Lesson here is to learn as early as possible. Don’t put it off. NEVER put it off.
