Understanding the “Laziness Factor”
When you’re feeling lazy about learning a language, it usually means you’re lacking motivation or genuine interest. Although research shows that motivation is a critical driver of engagement in learning, you have to be aware that not all motivation is the same. This is because there’s intrinsic motivation (which is interest that comes from inside you) and extrinsic motivation (which are rewards and incentives that come from outside you). To keep moving forward, it helps to know which type of motivation works best for you.

To Overcome Your Laziness, You Have To Find A Personal Connection With The Language You Are Learning.
If you’re struggling with motivation, tapping into internal interest can help. Studies show that people are more likely to engage in activities they find personally meaningful. Here are some ways to cultivate this type of interest when the thought of language learning makes you lazier by the second.

Tip 53 – How to Learn a Language When Motivation is Low: Turning Laziness into Productivity

Esta leyenda es muy popular en los Llanos de Colombia y Venezuela. El Silbón es el espíritu de un joven que cometió un terrible crimen: mató a su propio padre. Después de ser maldecido por su abuelo, el joven fue condenado a vagar eternamente por los llanos, llevando consigo un saco lleno de los huesos de su padre.

Lo más aterrador de esta leyenda es que el Silbón se anuncia con un silbido largo y estremecedor, que comienza con una nota baja y sube hasta una muy alta. Se dice que si escuchas su silbido cerca, no hay peligro, pero si lo oyes de lejos, es porque está más cerca de lo que piensas.

A menudo aparece por las noches o en lugares solitarios, y su presencia es una señal de mal augurio. Algunos dicen que es capaz de atacar a borrachos y mujeres infieles, como castigo por sus pecados.

Colombian Legends

El Silbón

 The idiom "to take its toll" means to be damaging or harmful, cause loss or destruction. It is often used to describe the negative effects of something over time, such as a health problem taking its toll on both sides. The phrase is derived from the taking of a toll, like a  tax. It can also be used to describe the negative effects of stress on people, such as the constant stress taking its toll on emergency hospital staff.
