ist nicht gut.😉

But that is unhelpful self-judgment right?

You could also say: “what could I do to improve my German faster?”

Maybe a small funny or interesting book on the toilet? Maybe learning some German songs by heart? Going to bed half an hour earlier to read or listen to German stories before going to sleep? Watching a German movie over and over and repeat all dialogue out loud?

So viele Möglichkeiten.😉

Viel Spaß! 🥳

I enjoyed your arricle, but I am also surprised about this research. I assumed this was already common knowledge and therefore had been researched ages ago. Nevertheless, the distinction between ‘eye v mind’ of the mind is interesting. The devil is in the detail, and words often obfuscate the detail. We use words to hide our distorted thinking. Detail, precision and accuracy are tools to undo biased and false reasoning. It will show that there is nothing under the cloak of imprecise words. But until that is shown, the fear and anxiety are at its highest. It is also why politicians who want to gain votes on the cheap use simple slogans to trigger vague fears of non-existing threats. Once you buy into that fear it becomes part of who you are, or so your mind’s mind tells you. Once you bought into that fear it takes a lot of accurate analysis to demonstrate there is nothing to be scared of. And then the most difficult part: will you concede that this fear was unjustified? Remember, according to your mind’s mind that fear is part of who you are. It’s like getting fat: easy to put on the pounds, hard work to get them off.
