Learning a language
So, I'm trying to learn to speak French. It's cool! It's going, uh... well, decently. Ah, to heck with it, I'll say it's going well! I'm learning, and that means it's going well, right? I think so.
But I feel so ridiculous, sitting alone and talking to myself with an awful accent saying words I can barely understand. I feel like a fool.
I don't practice at things enough because of that kind of thing. I just get all like "oh, I'm so bad at this I don't want to look at what I've done," and how can I get better if I do that?
So... "bonjoor. no. bonouur. no. bonjour. almost."
Over and over again until I'm sick of myself.
That's practice!
