So I created a German spot, and discovered yet another belief system. And maybe the reason that some people are nervous about getting totally involved in learning another language is because they are terrified of losing their identities - unaware that they would, in fact, enrich them. Let's go back to the beginning for ourselves, with some thoughts about how we learned our mother tongue. And, if you find this too much of a good thing, think of something else to do in that language, so that your conscious mind is distracted and too busy to give you a hard time. I learned most of my French on a horse or round a bridge table.
Communication is what it's all about.
Everything else is irrelevant.
