Deep dives

Overwhelming Focus on One Resource

One of the main insights from this podcast episode is the importance of not getting overwhelmed with one language learning resource. The host shares his personal experience of spending too much time and effort on Anki flashcards during the second month of his Korean language learning project. This excessive focus on a single resource left him with little time for other language learning activities and hindered his progress. He advises language learners to have a balanced approach, incorporating a variety of resources and activities to cover multiple aspects of the language.
