Languages & OCD - the fight goes on....

I thought I had cracked my language learning OCD cycle last week and, whilst I had made progress, I'd not quite cracked it.

But I think I have now.

Which language I'm learning isn't the issue, it's the feeling that I have to be learning one.

I do want to learn a language.

But I shouldn't feel that I have to be, or that I should be able to do it perfectly.

That's what the problem is.

So what do I do?

Well I go back to being happy with the fact that it's taken me 7 years to complete the first 7 instalments of a beginners course of SaySomethingInWelsh (excellent course by the way) and crack on with learning it be wise it's really the one that I wish I could speak fluently.

But every now and then, if I fancy having a break and dabbling German, Norsk or anything then I will - without having to ditch any other option.

You might think this sounds simple.

For you maybe it is( I hope it is).

For me, it's not and I might no succeed but I'm going to try.

Having a healthy goal is a big help.

So here it goes.
