When i say learning language for the purpose of comparison never lasts, I will lose motivation. i will constantly be comparing myself and thinking poorly of my level. ​I know personally whenever i feel anxious or a little moody, learning or reviewing for even just a while helps me feel so much better. Writing quietly makes me feel calm, talking to different people makes me feel happy, and learning a language itself is rewiring the brain's neurons to avoid being consumed with the same thing all the time. ​ ​The same goes for exercising or cooking~
