In episode 55, friend of the show Kris Broholm from Actual Fluency joined me to discuss mindset and accountability in language learning that come from a place of reality and gentle confidence.

Great advice for English speakers who want to have early success in a new language
Language learning is such a complicated jigsaw puzzle, so how can we really track what we have actually learnt?
Is it presumptuous, are you lacking humility if you set yourself a big, impressive goal?

The one thing you MUST have in order to get language learning motivated - a sense of "this is who I am"
