I’ve had a firm plan for a few years now to be able to speak Russian one day. This plan works as follows: I bookmarked the language learning book in chapter 4 - I haven’t got any further yet - and it’s been there for six months now. I wish I was motivated.
You might like reading the book Atomic Habits before putting any effort on language learning, it has, in fact, nothing to do with language learning, but it can help you find the time to commit to language learning and not necessarily rely on motivation.
Good idea. Sadly, the number of people my age who want to learn a new language - especially Russian, not quite the most famous language in Germany these days - is limited.
This is kinda how I started my language learning journey as well, but realized after a year of no progress that I need a structured course to truly get that motivation and progress.
If you have a possibility to take a course somewhere in your town I highly recommend! Might meet new people and have fun too! :)

Thank you, I had not heard of that book before.
Maybe you need an accountability buddy, a fellow learner. Well idk I’ve never tried it but just a thought.

Every time I check the town’s course schedules, it’s either too early (no course yet) or too late (courses have already started). :-))
Ha, exact problem I had! Moved abroad and that fixed it ;)
Jokes aside, that’s a real problem for most people who work full time :(
Sadly, yes.
