Since moving to France, I’ve really discovered this to be true. People seem to think there must be actual pain and frustration in order to learn. The sad thing is 1) that’s not always true!! and 2) some of the most punishing ‘learning strategies’ are just not effective at all… It was a shock to me having taught French to goofy American high school students.
