“​You must constantly reflect on your learning and your lifestyle and reevaluate your choices, schedule, methods, techniques, and materials. You cannot mindlessly follow any path to success in language learning.

If you want to be successful, you must develop self-awareness, discipline, and the ability to critique yourself and make adjustments.”
