Don't kid yourself. Don't play the unrewarded martyr. Count your language-learning in minutes and hours, not years. #
Counting language acquisition in years makes you think that you've been playing WAY harder than you actually were. #
So, only count your language acquisition time in years if 1 year = 8760+ hours. If not…then…you know the deal. #
Counting your language hearing time in hours is a HUGE reality check on Linkin Park linguistics ("I've tried so hard…") #

The illusion of infinite time is what makes you do tasks slowly and/or avoid doing them at all. #timeboxing #
Always limit your time. Ultimately, your time is limited, it's just a matter of making yourself aware of that. #timeboxing #
If you assume infinite time then you also assume infinite tasks. Reclaim finite time and all your tasks become finite, too. #
For me anything longer than a couple of minutes = infinity. #

Learning is as easy as you let it be. When faced with two words/sentences, always pick the easier one. #SRS #sentences #
As you pick and "eat" easy things — low-hanging fruit — eventually you'll grow "tall" enough to pick higher stuff. #SRS #
Pick easy, fun stuff. It's similar to how Heisig works. Once you know the primitives, the character is cake. #SRS #sentences #
It's like you're making yourself a ramp made of easy, painless, fun choices: i+1 #SRS #sentences #
How do I put it: you learn small, easy new stuff, and/or stuff you almost know but don't quite know #SRS #sentence #ramp #steps #

Obligation may sound good, but fun actually gets done. Small + fun = repeatable. Repeatable = habit. #immersion #timeboxing #SRS #
All those "shouldknowit" and "mightneedit" cards seem so reasonable until you find you're not actually doing reps. Delete. #SRS #
A deckful of fun cards that you actually do reps on = ∞ly better than a "should" deck you've been avoiding for 3 months #SRS #
Don't be afraid to delete kanji, either. Better an "incomplete", living deck than a perfect, dead one. #SRS #
Delete liberally. Anything you need to know that much will nag you in the #immersion environment until you can't ignore it. #SRS #
@aaronvanvalen No one's saying "give up". Just, you know…do lay-offs (lol?). Delete individual cards that suck, not the whole deck in reply to aaronvanvalen #
@aaronvanvalen Consider "delete" one of the score options. During your reps, use the delete button freely. That's all. in reply to aaronvanvalen #
@aaronvanvalen You may end up doing more deletes than reps, especially at first. That's fine. in reply to aaronvanvalen #
@aaronvanvalen But, pretty much if you don't delete SOME cards now, you'll end up looking at NO cards at all. in reply to aaronvanvalen #

The illusion of infinite time is what makes you do tasks slowly and/or avoid doing them at all. #timeboxing #
Always limit your time. Ultimately, your time is limited, it's just a matter of making yourself aware of that. #timeboxing #
If you assume infinite time then you also assume infinite tasks. Reclaim finite time and all your tasks become finite, too. #
For me anything longer than a couple of minutes = infinity. #

Show me a person who's failing at something, and I will show you a person who has too many (too difficult) rules for herself. #
The less rules you have and the easier your rules are to keep, the more likely you are to follow and exceed them. #
When you have too many rules, or your rules are too difficult, not only will you not rise to the challenge, you'll go AWOL. #
This is basically what dual #timeboxing is…入れ子タイムボクシング http://bit.ly/cLNvO8 #

The problem with setting a long timebox is that it makes you look for things that take a long time to do. And that's no fun. #
So the idea with dual timeboxing is not that you something for 20 minutes, but that you do something for 60 seconds, 20 times. #
It's about laying a track for yourself to walk. It's easier walk down the street than to jump there. Plus, no run-up needed. #timeboxing #
Short something > Long nothing. #timeboxing #
When doing dual timeboxing, I find it generally helps to hide the big timer so you can focus on the small and the now. #
Enjoy the process (or make it enjoyable), and you'll get the results automatically. #timeboxing #
It's always now, and it's always the right time to start. #immersion #timeboxing #
It doesn't matter where your method comes from. All that matters is where it takes you. #
To learn a language, you need to till like a farmer, not scramble like a city slicker. You're cultivating a natural system: you. #
Farmers don't hate seeds. It's OK to be small, because you're moving up and out. #
Farmers love seeds, because farmers learn to see far in space and time: they know that their actions have eventual consequences. #
Perhaps our extensive consumption of packaged, pre-prepared food, leads us to expect packaged, pre-prepared results in everything #

Just because you're smart enough to do 100% that doesn't mean it's worth the effort. #
Our world is filled with "smart people" who think that anything < 100% = 0, and "dumb" people who chill and get things 80% done #
Do what you can, when you can, where you are. It's that simple. Don't go looking for pain: never works, never helps. #immersion #
Do small things. Small things don't just add up, they multiply. Best of all, you never get worn out: they're too small for that. #
Big things are easy to schedule but small things actually get done. Better to do small things ad hoc than to plan out big nevers. #
Good question to ask yourself: "how can I make this so small that I don't even feel it?" #immersion #
In any field, I find there's an inverse relationship between how little someone values small steps and how much they achieve #
The irony of language-learning: you do need (maybe) to care enough to act, but not care so much that no action is good enough #

Don't worry. You probably won't make it out of life alive. And probably you won't read every book you wanted to read. #
Since your lifespan places a hard time limit on the number of books you can read, read the books you REALLY want to read. #
Even with preloaded decks, you'll never SRS every sentence that exists in Japanese. So you might as well stick to the fun ones. #

@BrentHodgson Audio on the front. Real Japanese text on the back. No romaji. Ever. You could also just listen a lot in reply to BrentHodgson #
In this sport we call language-learning, you only have to be *touching* the ball to be winning. #immersion #
@BrentHodgson Well…I'd at least use bopomofo , b/c you do want some confirmation of the sounds. Pinyin is convenient but flawed. in reply to BrentHodgson #
@BrentHodgson Pinyin would have you believe that 路(lu4｜ㄌㄨˋ) , 就 (jiu4｜ㄐ｜ㄡˋ) and 去(qu4｜ㄑㄩˋ) have the same "u" sound, when they don't: ㄨㄡㄩ. in reply to BrentHodgson #
Look at it this way. For now, you suck so much at Japanese that doing ANYTHING is an improvement. So do anything. #
We often spend so much time and energy mulling over what we should do, that we have none left to do what we *can* do #immersion #
Go ahead and spend more time doing what you can do than worrying about what you should do. It'll be worth it #immersion #
Never let a method get between you and the language… #
Would you deny yourself food *because* you were hungry? Then why would you give up on something *because* you temporarily suck? #
Being bad at something is just a manifestation of hunger…malnourishment. Practice is the cure. Eat practice. #

Better something than nothing. Better more than less. Better fun than "good for you". Better now than later. #immersion #
Playing is fundamental. Play is *the* fundamental. Only people with a solid foundation in play can actually do the serious stuff. #
With persistence, almost any method will get you "there". Without it…nothing will. #
Beginning to think that the single biggest obstacle preventing most people learning languages is fear of shame/uncoolness. #
You don't even have to *remove* fear of shame (#FoS), if you just have/build a desire that supersedes FoS, you will win. #
When you get over #FoS you become unstoppable. You're willing to anything — which is precisely what you need to do. #immersion #
Pretending to be Japanese is just a tool for discarding #FoS since: how can a Japanese person be ashamed of acting Japanese? #
@veritech Know exactly what you mean. It must be that many people have learned to enjoy *not* being seen as outcasts. in reply to veritech #
Embarrassed about your language habit? Well, you're ugly and no one likes you anyway. Might as well do some #immersion #MajorPayneStyle #
