Jealousy, inadequacy and comparison in the language community | Chatting with Valeria

Is it ever ok to be jealous of someone's language skills? What about when you feel inadequate or feel like you're not as good as anyone else? Is it alright to compare yourself to others if you use it as a form of motivation? Valeria and I discuss these things in today's video. I'd love to hear your thoughts in the comments!
