Know When To Take A Break
After spinning a decision wheel on New Year's Day in 2019, fate led me to learn Persian (Fārsī) as part of the #31DayAspiringPolyglot challenge. Even though resources for Persian (Fārsī) are somewhat limited compared to other languages, you can still find what you need if you seek it! I quit after 2 months because I had too much going on and couldn't carve out the time to keep learning. Persian has been the most challenging language, but it keeps pulling me back.
