    Grace & Space is for...Perfectionists Who Feel They Must Get It Right

    In this episode, I talk about perfectionism in language learning and how it creates unnecessary pressure that often leads to overwhelm and quitting. I share why redefining success on your own terms and practicing self-compassion can make your language journey more sustainable and enjoyable. I also invite you to join Grace in Space, a supportive event happening from September 25th to 28th, where you can get personalized coaching and connect with others.

    Grace & Space is for...People Who Compare Themselves Too Much

    This episode is for language learners stuck in the comparison trap. I share why comparing yourself to others is inevitable but unhelpful and how to shift your focus to your own progress. I explain why direct comparison rarely helps because our goals and circumstances differ and how joining diverse language communities like Grace and Space can reduce comparison pressure. I also highlight the value of community over isolation and introduce co-study sessions designed to boost motivation without competition. If you struggle with comparison, this episode and the upcoming Grace and Space event from September 25-28th are for you.---**GRACE & SPACE TICKETS**🥰 Grace & Space tickets: https://lindsaydoeslanguages.com/graceandspace **GET STARTED FOR FREE**🎁 Free Video Training - How to Finally Learn That Language: https://lindsaydoeslanguages.com/freevideo 🎁 Free Ultimate Language Resource List: https://lindsaydoeslanguages.com/list---**WORK WITH LINDSAY**💛 Language Life - Speak fearlessly, trust your language gut & master your process: https://lindsaydoeslanguages.com/ll💬 Speak 28x28 Challenge - 4 weeks to speaking confidence.

    Do you think you're too old to learn a language or worry you’ve missed the boat? I’m Lindsay, and in this episode, I share why age doesn’t have to limit your language learning.
