Hi, I'm Xin Tan, Coach Xiufu, and I'm happy to answer your questions.
You're now aware of your own capabilities—you're willing to go online to find out how to learn multiple foreign languages. And through your awareness, you can discover your inner self. It seems that something is changing, so you have this motivation and are willing to go online to find out.
Then I'll take a look at how you're feeling based on what you say.
It's great if you're always learning. And it's good to see that some people have a lot of experience.
So is experience really the best measure of value? Does the length of time spent learning, the number of things learned, the type of learning, etc., all add up to a higher score?
What are your thoughts when you see that someone else has a lot of experience?
Do you think the other person is so amazing that it seems like I'll never catch up, or do you think the other person is so amazing that you want to be like them, but you don't think you can handle the intensity, so you might as well give up?
Or when you see how many experience points others have, you feel a little discouraged. You wonder how they can do it, but not you.
Or is it that they're so far ahead that I'll just fall behind and never catch up?
Then these possibilities actually bring up some negative feelings and a depressed mood. And then you also recently thought that a person could only learn one foreign language, but then what made you realize that you could learn multiple languages at the same time?
Maybe you've made a lot of friends and expanded your knowledge by chatting with them. Or perhaps you came across the idea of learning multiple foreign languages online while surfing the web.
Both of these are signs that you're slowly coming to terms with the fact that you don't have as much experience as you once did and that your inner energy is gradually being restored.
If you want to learn, you have to focus enough to learn a language, which is already pretty impressive for one person. If you learn multiple languages at the same time, is it a challenge for you? Do you feel resistant at the beginning?
So right now, you're going through a period of emotional and psychological adjustment. You might start to see that searching the internet for knowledge you don't have is a good way to learn.
It's not about making a lot of friends. You may not be great at interpersonal relationships, and you want to find a way through your own efforts. Searching online is a great way to do that.
Then there's the second paragraph where you look back at yourself six months ago. Six months ago, you probably just gave up and didn't want to search online yourself. Then you see that we can tell it was six months ago, and your curiosity and persistence are definitely lacking compared to now.
You might think it'll be tough to find the answer or that there's nothing out there. So you decide you don't need to look it up again.
Now you can go through and discover that after being able to learn multiple foreign languages at the same time, you are willing to look it up and learn it, and you understand that your experience level can be improved in this way.
But at this point, you're pretty annoyed and think you're to blame. So, do you feel like others have learned this method before you and are more advanced than you, and you feel like you've been left behind and are a bit angry inside, feeling quite annoyed?
If so, you've actually achieved some self-awareness, and you'll find you're more motivated now. It's important to remember that your motivation should fit your own rhythm.
It's true that many people have plenty of personal experience or are gifted in foreign languages and are really good at it. Even though we're not so good at it, we can build up experience over time.
I think we all have different paces of life. When we admire others, we can use that as motivation to improve our own learning methods. It's good to communicate more with people who are ahead of us.
For instance, if we communicate with them respectfully, I believe they'll be happy to answer.
We shouldn't define ourselves too early. We'll never surpass them because we don't know how many years they've spent getting to this point. If we can learn a little bit every day and persevere, I believe you'll also get closer and closer to them.
That's all for now, but I'm sure you have plenty more relevant content you want to discuss with me.
Then you're welcome to organize your thoughts, click on my personal homepage, and ask me questions. I'll do my best to help you.
I'm looking forward to hearing from you and wish you the best.

I can totally relate to that feeling of discovery and growth. It's amazing how much our perspectives can shift in just a few months. Now, I'm more open to exploring multiple languages and not limiting myself.
It's incredible how much we can change in such a short time. Six months ago, I would have been so quick to give up, but now I find myself eager to dive into learning more than one language at once.
The willingness to seek out information and push beyond initial assumptions is a huge step forward. It's like I've unlocked a new level of curiosity and determination when it comes to language learning.
I used to think the path to learning a foreign language was so narrow, but now I see there are many ways to approach it. The idea of learning several languages simultaneously feels exciting rather than overwhelming.
What a difference a little research and openness can make! I feel like I've grown so much in terms of embracing challenges. Learning multiple languages is no longer something I shy away from.
