I secretly learned a language for 3 years & my parents had no idea!
#sociology #hobby #languagelearning #autism Discover my extraordinary journey of mastering a language unbeknownst to my parents for years, and their surprising reaction upon finding out. Through sheer determination and utilizing resources from the local library, I immersed myself in language learning, chronicling my progress in five comprehensive books, supplemented by meticulously crafted flashcards and self-designed tests.
Witness the remarkable tale of high-functioning autism at play, showcasing relentless dedication rather than a predetermined purpose for language acquisition.
Embark on a personal odyssey, tracing my evolution from a novice with rudimentary language skills to adeptly navigating complex political news articles throughout my tween and teenage years.
Contrary to popular methods, I divulge my unique approach to learning, dubbing myself an "analogue learner" who favors tactile, hands-on techniques over digital platforms like Duolingo, which I only embraced post-revelation and still perceive as a mere diversionary pastime.
Join me in exploring the nuances of my learning journey, recognizing that my preferred methodology may not resonate with everyone but stands as a testament to the diversity of effective learning techniques.
