The Door

Why must I have so much stress?

It’s like my body’s in distress.

Stress SongI can’t do this much longer

They day’s getting harder to suffer,

It’s like in in too deep

Just like the boy who cried wolf and his sheep.

I can’t ask for the help that I need.

woah….I can’t do this any more.

I’m going to walk right out the door

yeah… cause

I can’t keep letting this happen to me.

I’m begging, pleading,

mercy, mercy please……

I’m going to walk on out the door.

What on earth have I done?

To the one guy on earth that calls me hun?

I just want to be myself,

But I’m like a purple elf,

I blend into the public crowd,

I hide in the shroud

cause I can’t face my problems.

oooohhhh I can’t do this any more..

I’m going to walk right out the door

yeah… cause

I can’t keep letting this happen to me…

I begging, pleading, mercy mercy please…

I’m going to walk on out the door.

Why can’t I get over it?

I’m treating it like a prom night zit.

I can’t stand it,

I can’t take it,

But I won’t leave it here for you….

So I’m going to do this some more.

I’m going to shut and lock that door.

yeah… cause

I’m going to let this happen to me.

I’m begging, pleading

mercy, mercy please……

Help me shut and lock that door.

How to romanticize language learning

• Use your favorite colors to highlight what you don’t know
• Have a nice notebook where you keep track of grammar or/and vocabulary
• Try making a snack specific to a country where your target language is spoken
• Have sticky notes with texts you wrote in order to improve and motivate yourself
• Annotate books if that’s your thing
• Look up for new songs and then learn to sing then by looking up the lyrics (+translate the new words)
• Remember how you’ll improve over time if you keep learning
• Keep a journal in your target language. Write in another color the words you had to look up. Notice how over time there are less and less different colored words.
• Decorate your notes with sticky notes and doodles
• Chat with your pets or with yourself in your target language (or just tell to mister cat how you’ll improve your French, everything works)
• Start a book or a comic and choose a reward for when you finish it
• Pretend you’re a foreigner who knows only your target language, try using that language only for some time
• Talk about each product from your grocery list/chart
• Learn idioms and imagine in which circumstances you could use them
• Change the settings of your phone for a day/week to your TL and try to read/look up things only in that language
• Keep a journal or agenda where you plan, analyze and organize your life but use only your target language.
• Have a notebook/digital notepad where you write about your day and add a picture.
• Make a PowerPoint presentation with what you learned today. Think of it as the most important project you have to make or the thing that could teach someone else your TL. (Your favorite fictional characters for example)
• Weekly write letters to future you about your progress. (In your native or target language) Open those letters when you’re more advanced. Decorate them with drawings or stickers.

These ideas might seem more appropriate for higher levels BUT if you’re a beginner and start trying to do these things, you’ll improve a lot so don’t discourage yourself just because you think you don’t know enough yet.
