“株” 字由 “木” 和 “朱” 组成，甲骨文的“朱”是在树干中间加上一点，表示砍树时应从此处砍下，因此 “朱”的本意就是砍树，“株”就表示树木被砍后剩下的树桩。

Second thing to fix to make your Russian better

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.
