The article on autonomy learning didn't really tell me anything new, but rather covered topics I was already aware of. You have to be very conscious of how you learn best so that you are able to do activities that will help you succeed in learning the best. The section on cognitive learning was the section which I use most. I'm big into repetition, note taking, and translation. I tend to get nervous when trying to pronounce a word for the first time so I will ask Louise to repeat it a few times before I even attempt it. I think that also is a self -esteem issue as well, that I assume I am saying it terribly wrong. I need to be okay with the fact I won't be perfect at it but hey, im trying. I agree with the concept that one must be motivated in order to succeed but I think thatch the beauty of self learning, that you are so interested in a certain subject that you will be willing to learn it on your own. You are learning something you enjoy opposed to something you could careless about. I think teaching ones self a new thing whether it be skill or language is a test to their personality, and it might be harder for some than others but it something that everyone, given the right subject can accomplish.
