One of the reasons it’s hard to learn a language in the abstract is that you need a purpose, a reason for learning it, a focus that will guide you. So pick something – a project, something that you want to make functional or alive – and use it to guide how you learn. For example, if you want to make a recipe database, you know that’s your end goal, and you can ask questions focused on how to do parts of it.

I did this. Now I do it for other people. On July 1, Uncle Sam is ratcheting up the interest rates on federal student loans by 1.84% – if you have $30K in loans, that’s an additional $6,300 the Man will be asking of you in interest.

And keep your cash from Uncle Sam. He’s that skeezy, lazy eye Uncle no one wants to talk to at the family picnic.
