HUNDRED-DAY CHALLENGE
One way to start learning a language is by doing a 100-day Challenge.
When we start a project, motivation and excitement are high.
Use this to get yourself going.
100-DAY LANGUAGE LEARNING CHALLENGE
Practice efficiently and enjoyably for 100 days.
Develop your knowledge and performance automatically.
Some days you will be brilliant. Others you might feel your skills are deficient.
Keep going regardless.
Language learning is very much like training for a sport: you need to know the fundamentals. You need to practice in a competent way. You need to keep going for a while, and you need to have fun.
