There are no shortcuts to mastery
I study languages.
There are NO SHORTCUTS to mastery.?There are NO HACKS.
People use the word "hack" these days to talk about easy ways of doing things. But ultimately the word means mediocre. Yes, it may be a clever trick to get around or get entry to something difficult - to make it easy. But it has no depth, no strength, little to build on or grow upon. It's unremarkable, amateur.
It may be wrong, too. Lots of people have gotten comfortable using bad grammar - because they learned a hack ???? They think they really hit on gold when, in reality, it's a poor trick. And it shows.
If you shortcut your learning, you'll get the shortcut version.
To truly learn a language, know it, and use it well takes time. It’s a dedicated endeavor. Unless you plan to speak a new language superficially, plan to spend time, effort, and care.
If you happen to find yourself using a shortcut version of what you now want to master, get back to the basics. Make sure you're solid there. Once you know how to use the basic tools of sound and grammar, you'll have improved and be ready for more learning.
