El Jinete Negro es una de las leyendas más misteriosas de los Llanos Orientales de Colombia. La historia cuenta que, en vida, El Jinete Negro era un hacendado cruel que trataba mal a sus trabajadores y cometía muchas injusticias. Después de morir, su alma quedó condenada a vagar por los campos, montado en un caballo negro y vestido completamente de negro.

Se aparece especialmente en las noches sin luna, cuando el viento sopla fuerte. Los viajeros solitarios pueden escuchar el galope de su caballo, que se acerca rápidamente. Lo más terrorífico de El Jinete Negro es que no muestra su rostro; su sombrero y capa negra lo cubren por completo. A quienes se atreven a mirarlo, les arroja una maldición que los deja enfermos o los hace perderse sin rumbo.

Se dice que el galope de El Jinete Negro es una advertencia para quienes llevan una vida llena de maldad y egoísmo, y que aquellos que lo ven deben rezar inmediatamente para que el jinete no los persiga.

In this episode, I reflect on my years studying at the conservatory alongside university. Through music, I learned not only technique and discipline but also how to think and live like an artist. I explore what it means to create freely, why I stepped away from the professional music path, and how art can shape a deeper understanding of life.

We’ve been told that positivity is the key to learning a language. But what if the opposite is true? In Episode 94 of 111 Tips for Learning a Language, I explore how pessimism—or clear-eyed realism—can actually make you calmer, happier, and more consistent in your studies. By accepting limits, releasing the struggle for perfection, and embracing mistakes as inevitable, you may find more freedom and even more fluency. Listen now and discover the bright side of gloom in your language journey.

Which part of “pessimism as freedom” resonates most with your language learning?

Facing reality and acting for its own sake?

Accepting limits and stopping the struggle?

Embracing failure as non-destructive?

Using defensive pessimism to prepare better?

Episode 94 challenges the idea that positivity is the only path to language learning success. Instead, we explore how pessimism—rooted in reality and acceptance—can set you free. Facing reality helps you value learning for its own sake rather than for a distant fantasy. Accepting limits reduces stress and allows you to appreciate small wins. Embracing failure as inevitable removes the fear of mistakes, and defensive pessimism turns anxiety into thorough preparation. Research in intrinsic motivation (Deci & Ryan), acceptance-based coping strategies, and defensive pessimism (Norem) shows that this approach can reduce stress, improve memory, and keep you consistent. The episode concludes with an invitation to stop bracing for perfection and instead find joy in the imperfect but deeply worthwhile present of learning.
