Newton’s Law of Universal Gravitation states that:
Every mass attracts every other mass in the universe with a force that is proportional to the product of their masses, and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.
Let’s break this down in a way that applies to language acquisition. Imagine that:
•	One “mass” is you, the learner.
•	The other “mass” is the language you are trying to learn.
•	The “force” is the attraction or motivation pulling you toward fluency.
•	The “distance” is how far you currently are from using the language fluently and comfortably.
