I couldn’t imagine myself doing it either tbh, but I started learning on Duolingo as a personal challenge: to prove to myself that I can still learn something new every day and allay my irrational fear that I’m getting too old to improve at anything.

And it worked. That fear is gone now, but the streak goes on. Not letting it go cause I’m that stubborn.
