A "gaucho" is a skilled horseman, reputed to be brave and unruly.
 The gaucho in some respects resembled members of other nineteenth century rural, horse-based cultures such as the North American cowboy (vaquero in Spanish), 
The figure of the gaucho is a folk symbol of Argentina, Uruguay, the south of Chile and Brazil, places where he inhabited the 18th and 19th centuries. 
Gauchos became greatly admired and renowned in legend, folklore, and literature, and became an important part of their regional cultural tradition.

Instead of skipping your study session, try to do something manageable, even if it’s just for 5 or 10 minutes. This small effort prevents the disruption of your learning habit and keeps you from falling into the “rest zone” for too long. Remember, a little bit of progress each day compounds over time, and that’s how big results are achieved.

Once you take a break from studying for too long, it becomes increasingly tempting to stay in that “rest mode.” We’ve all experienced this—one day off turns into two, and suddenly a week has gone by. The longer you rest, the harder it becomes to start again. This is not just a language learning issue; it’s a cognitive phenomenon called the inertia effect, where the longer we avoid an activity, the more mental resistance we build up toward starting it again.
