Description

Doug asks: "I know I need to focus on one language, but I'm torn between two languages. What should I do?"
In this episode:

Why it's important to focus on one language
The difficulty of leaving behind one language
Why a language is never "lost"

Three ideas for choosing which language to focus on:

The "Rocking Chair Test": Imagine your 80-year-old self sitting in a rocking chair looking back on your life. Look at your current dilemma through those eyes. What should you do?
