Benny and Sarah Maria unlocked their hidden potential in language learning by embracing discomfort. They realized traditional language classes didn't help them internalize the language because they weren't forced to speak and communicate orally. They advise that to learn a language effectively, one must become uncomfortable with making mistakes and speaking out loud. Benny set a goal of making 200 mistakes a day and focused on communicating in a new language immediately, accepting corrections and embracing the discomfort of sounding like a beginner. By putting words together and accepting the discomfort, they learned much faster and became fluent in multiple languages.
