Learning a language feels useless for months, then one day you understand a whole sentence. That day was built earlier.

Progress gets stored before it gets delivered. Months of words that did not seem to stick were quietly assembling the thing that eventually arrives all at once, which is why the breakthrough feels sudden and unearned when it is neither. The day it clicks is a receipt for work you did much earlier.

Keep going through the part where nothing seems to land. Short daily contact beats long weekend sessions for this: fifteen minutes, every day, even badly. Mark the date you started, so when the sentence arrives you can see what built it.
