IMPROVING AT A LANGUAGE will always be a CHESS match, between ignorance and knowledge.

Many of you in my opinion prematurely surrender to the **dark side**, and **argue** that you are **totally not cut out for learning**. Fixing mistakes is the only way to learn. That means you *have to* be *mistake intolerant*, or ignorance will *prevail*. It is not enough to be a bit **creative**, and try to always just adapt or **work around ignorance**. Sadly **overcome ignorance** means **find out** what you don't know, and **convert this ignorance to knowledge**. <br>That is what I mean with the **chess match**. Chess is played with a strategy in mind. That is what I think you need to have for learning a language. There will be moves that *feel* a little righteous, because you already know how the pieces move. I am not saying you have to know how everything works in the beginning either. I am just saying you should **never be happy with ignorance**. You *owe* it to yourself to **find the truth**. I am not saying you have to start with the basics. But start somewhere. Just be smart, and never be happy in the dark. Cheers!
