Fluency isn’t linear (and that’s a good thing!)

  So some of our activities, we can enjoy them for the sheer random enjoyment they give us.

• 00:05

  Some of our activities, we actually have to complete.

• 00:07

  Language learning is more like today I want to talk about randomness,

• 00:11

  complexity, and enjoyment when it comes to language learning.

• 00:15

  If you follow my channel, you'll know that I put a lot of emphasis on enjoying the process.

• 00:20

  And I also try to connect things that may seem unrelated to the process of learning a language.

• 00:26

  And the reason is that Fundamentally, language learning success depends on our attitude.

• 00:32

  Even when I say it depends on the time we spend,

• 00:35

  of course the time we spend with the language, listening,

• 00:38

  reading, speaking, it all is very much influenced by our attitude towards the process,

• 00:43

  towards the language and so forth.

• 00:45

  So the attitude should be one of enjoyment.

• 00:47

  Now how does this relate to randomness and how did I get there?

• 00:51

  I have this feeling that so many things in life

• 00:53

  if not all things in life are in some way or other interconnected and that brought me to this theory of complexity and randomness which I discovered

• 01:01

  while learning Farsi or Persian

• 01:04

  while listening to Parse's podcast where he talked about complex systems like an ant colony and the evolution of life itself and how things influence other things and gradually systems increase in their complexity as a result of how different elements of that system interact with each other,

• 01:23

  achieving a result that is quite unrelated to the characteristics of each individual element in that system,

• 01:29

  if you follow me.

• 01:30

  A little bit complicated.
