如鱼得水 [rú yú dé shuǐ]

🗣️ Is something holding you back in your language learning—something deeper than motivation or time?

What if the real barrier isn’t the subjunctive mood—but your subconscious?

In Episode 98 of 111 Tips for Learning a Language, we explore how psychodynamic therapy principles can help you uncover the hidden emotional patterns, fears, and unconscious stories that shape your journey.

Episode 98 delves into how psychodynamic therapy principles can reveal and resolve the unconscious barriers—like resistance, transference, and hidden fears—that impact language learning. By exploring the inner world of emotions, memories, and self-protective patterns, you can transform language learning from a struggle into a deeply personal and freeing journey of growth.

This isn’t a lesson in grammar—it’s an invitation to understand yourself.

You’ll learn:

How to recognize and work with resistance, not against it

Why you might transfer old feelings onto tutors, languages, or even yourself

What your dreams and free associations reveal about your relationship to learning

How to turn language learning into a meaningful journey of self-discovery

If you’ve ever felt stuck, repetitive, or emotionally triggered while learning, this episode offers a compassionate and curious path forward.
