LEGENDARY QUOTES FROM TIARA

"“Some people take [language learning] for granted and I just don’t want that to be the case anymore. As we’ve seen with coronavirus, too, there’s so many ways that we are becoming more connected on the internet and in social media, and being able to understand others from a cultural and a language perspective could be more important for us in the future than we imagined before coronavirus.”

“Learning a language is like fighting yourself every time you take a step up. If you’re not frustrated with a certain aspect of yourself as you’re going through the language learning process, you’re not learning anything […] it’s about courage, and keeping it fun, and finding something that motivates you.”

“Evaluate yourself and who you are as a person, so that it’s effortless to incorporate this new hobby.”

“With language learning, there’s no one direct way to learn the four skills (reading, writing, speaking, and listening). And in the end, the goal is usually self-expression or understanding someone else’s self-expression.”

“I still feel like physical versions of games really help out. There’s an app for UNO; I know it. But if I could take out a deck of cards and shuffle them...it’s just that small thing that makes me more inspired to play UNO.”

“For language learners: you are enough […] the challenge with learning a new language is that you’re learning a new part of yourself. This is a journey that never ends.”
