I am a professional ‘false beginner’. A decade long career of course-hopping to be exact. The Collins dictionary describes a false beginner as “a language student who has some knowledge of a language, but who needs to start again from the beginning”.
I wrote a longer piece last year reflecting on that decade, highlighting some of the significant personal and logistical roadblocks. It is quite a lengthy meandering post so, God-willing this post will break down the key points into a piece easier to digest, and share.
