The Learning Brain
It is great to know more about our brains and how we learn and remember things. Our feeling which are "a brain process and not just a heart feeling" as many people think, play an important part in our learning and to develop new skills in life.

When passion meets discipline
Passion gives you strength, but it won't last forever.
It gives the push from nothing, to anything you want to start.
However, this isn't all you need.
You need to keep going.
You need more than a push.
You will study when you love it, yes, that's right, but we need more.
Discipline, it won't knock on your door and say here I am.No!
You have to go and look for it.
You have to fight and stand up and catch it.
You need to chase it and grab it.
You need to hold it and hide it.
You need to empower it and practice it.
You need to be able to fail and stand up again.
It won't be beautiful, and you...
Will hate it.
You will suffer, cry, and crawl but this is real strength.
This is what you are looking for.
Your dreams are not only to sleep on.
You need to wake up and work, make them, build them, paint them, talk about them, laugh with them, cry with your dreams; because these are your goals coming true.
When your passion meets discipline your dreams become a reality, and anything you want will be yours. Your enemy is you, your ally will be yourself.
Be responsible for your own future.
We create tomorrow today, and rest yesterday.
When passion meets discipline it doesn't matter how tired you are.
Your energy source, it is not your body or your mood; it's yourself, your dreams, your choices, your goals.
If there is something you want to do, remember that your passion should meet discipline to achieve anything in life.

Korean Learning
안녕하세요 (Hello) was the first word I learned in Korean and today I want to share with you some sites, apps and extension that have helped me to improve and they might be useful for you too, if Korean is the languages you are learning too.
안녕
1. In First place TTMIK( talktomeinkorean) You will never think that learning Korean is hard after using this site, not only the explanations are clear and easy, moreover the site has tons of sources you can use, wonderful phrases, videos, pronunciation and more. This is a 10/10.
2. Korean for a Smart Keyboard It is a wonderful app, I mean "we are learning Korean here let's type in Korean". This keyboard is not only great because it comes with a Korean auto corrector( believe me that it is important) But comes with an English dictionary 9/10.
3. DramaFever : There isn't better way to learn a new language than listening to native speakers, you can't find Korean friends, why not try watching some Korean shows or tv programs? This will help you with it's culture and listening( be aware that some dramas will not be close to Korean reality) 8/10
4. Lang-8: A great place, to meet, chat with and read native speakers. (N/A)
5. Hello Lingo : A great community to make new friends and language interchange partners in any language, born from Sharedtalk. People here are really friendly and are always willing to help. (9/10)
6. Ihaessi: A Chrome extension that provides you a Korean text dictionary. By clicking or highlighting a word. (7/10)
7. Korean.go: Alphabet and pronunciation (N/A)
8. Korean IME: Practice Typing. (4/10) The site should have more features and many a manual, and it's a little confusing, but it's OK if you just want to get used to type.
To be continued...

Language Learning Difficulties 1
One of the biggest challenges when learning a new language it's actually doing it, giving yourself the time to start studying and finding the most efficient ways to do it. There are many factors that might set us apart from this journey. I will like to address some these difficulties. For self learners people, learning a new language (or several at a time) face.
1. "Language block": You can't think of anything in the second language after studying for long periods for time when talking to someone else, maybe because you're nervous, or try to do it "right".
2. "WENT BLANK": You don't know anything in any language anymore, even if you listen to some one speaking it slowly, or they write it down.
3. "I forgot how to say it in my native language": You start forgetting words in your native language, but can recall it in the second language.
4. "It's to difficult to understand no many how much I study": You can't focus on the learning process.
5. "Not enough time": You don't have enough time to improve yourself, you find it hard to make some time during the day; normally studying really late at night or forgetting to review or practice your second language.
6. "MEMORY": You have problems remembering anything, perhaps you aren't using an effective method or find yourself forgetting things you already knew.
7. "Bla bla bla? I don't know what happens to my tongue". Your tongue doesn't cooperate with you sometimes, and you end up saying stupid things, or mispronouncing things. (Or even using a word L3 when you are using the L2)
8. "NOT FUN anymore". You don't find learning this particular language fun anymore, perhaps the reason why you started wasn't clear.
9. "Lack of practice" You find it hard to find someone to practice with, or like the number 5 just not enough time to do so.
10. "I just know many words " You know more than 1,000 words in the new language, however when it comes to make a sentence I feel like a baby. Or you don't even know where to start.
These are some of the most common difficulties, later I'll bring more and add some advice to overcome these problems, a few of them might be a normal brain function or perhaps you aren't using the right method to study.
