These newsletters are so interesting, eye opening, and thought provoking. At first I thought all's good as I don't have negative associations with the language I'm learning. Then I read about making friends and voila! It struck me that the more friends I make, the more motivated I become and the more excited I am about learning the language. Giving myself a break is a great idea. Maybe you have evidence based (or other) suggestions for how to make that happen. Like recognizing some 'developmental tasks' in language learning (are there any?).
