One Step at a Time Learning a foreign language may seem like an insurmountable task. You look at it as a project and it seems like you will never get to the end of it. I am reminded of the rancher who had a thousand acre ranch and he wanted a fence built around the ranch. He hired a fence builder and presented the project to him. After just a few days the fence builder, seeing the immensity of the project, got discouraged and quit. The rancher hired another fence builder and had the same results. Several times the rancher hired fence builders, but each time the project was abandoned as the fence builders considered how big the job was. Finally, the rancher hired another fence builder and asked him to build a fence just 100 meters longer than the current fence. The fence builder completed the task and the rancher asked him to do the same thing again. Every time the fence builder completed 100 meters of fence, the rancher would hire him to build another 100 meters of fence. Eventually the fence was completed all the way around the one thousand acres. As you learn your language, just take it one step at a time. Don't dwell on reaching the end of your project. Just complete the next ten lessons. If you keep going... one step at a time... you will eventually be able to look back and see a completed project.
