Now it's become more or less a way of keeping me sane. It gets so annoying not understanding people, or only ever getting the gist of what people are saying. That's my motivation to keep learning.
This was my same motivation as well too!

Like Realjames, i didnt really care at all for the language. I learned a little back at home but not much. However when I got here...wow i got to learn this language for real! so ever since i arrived here Sept. 2010 i have been studying my butt off and it working. I starting to get better with hearing but my speaking it crap but it will improve in near time.
