I am a professional ‘false beginner’. A decade 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 significant personal and logistical roadblocks. It’s lengthy, God-willing this post will be more accessible.
