Language Immersion
You don’t learn a second language just by studying its principles, taking a course, or even buying Rosetta Stone.
One learns any language when they make the choice to immerse themselves in the world that the language is spoken in.
Want to learn spanish. Move to Mexico City.
Want to learn how to code a webpage. Find a month to month apartment in Palo Alto and knock on your neighbor’s door. Ask him.
Frustrated and confused by the music industry. Move to Nashville and listen to the locals.
Have a dream for a career in fashion? They speak that here.
You can probably connect most, if not all, of one’s strife in their career path to their lack of understanding the language of their industry. Or to it put another way, frustration comes from not fully understanding (for good or bad) just how things are in a specific sector.
Jump in. No floaties. Immerse yourself. Soon you’ll be on your way and know what you’re talking about.
