Notes on language learning, business & life optimization

[Part 2] Challenge #1 = The costs
Learning a language is expensive.

And by expensive, I don't mean specifically in the economical sense.

Rather, it takes time and energy.

Sometimes I surprise myself, by how hard it can be to, learn a language, in terms of energy.

When I learn the language, after long session of work.

I'm absolutely exhausted, at the end and when I'm sleeping,

First, it's hard to fall asleep, and, my sleep is very, deep, I feel like my brain is working a lot to process the information in my brain.

Also, it may take a lot of time to start seeing some results.

That, can be frustrating but also enthusiastic when you finally see that your efforts pay off.

I remember spending a lot of time learning tons of vocabularies.

It can be a very time consuming endeavour.

Surprisingly, I don't think it is very costly to learn a language moneywise.

But cost is a very serious matter.

And that's the first lesson you learn in languages.

Figuring out the costs of what you do.

Because in the next challenge you will know why.
