I’m not sure, but I suspect that the amygdala has something to do with the difficulty that many of us have in attempting to master another language. I’m reading Rewire Your Anxious Brain. There’s stuff in there that I can relate to on a personal level, certainly, though I’ve only completed the first few chapters.
Today I’ll start another semester, again at level 2, but this time with speaking and listening. It’s shaping up to be a large class of at least 20, mostly Syrians.
I’m thinking too about when I retire. To celebrate, I may do a 3100-mile race.
