The Path I've set

The feeling of writing about why/what I have started keep emerging recently.

Always listen to your heart "because somehow it already know what you truly want to become". Here it is. Tonight is the night to share that part of my story.

[Free The Language], the name was actually an inspiration from "Free The Nipple", though just the name. Personally, I have never looked into that movement. After being lost from quitting "the job" and taking some time drifting around, I picked myself up and thought there must be a way for a person like me. I cannot possibly be the only one to think that language should serve its purpose in communication and not tests. Yes, it turned out that I've been mostly right on that fact. I am alone on this because others have either changed their careers or conformed.

"You can't give up; you can't give in". There's no way I could stop that voice even if I want to. I simply don't fit anywhere mainstream. At the beginning, it was plain "free work". I tried really hard to set up free language meetups on my own, not by apps and not taking fees. It was the "Make Friends Every Saturday" event. We had some good time. I didn't mind the work except hoping to contribute more and become the bridge of connecting people for language learning. Even until this day, I sometimes still wonder, although with the answer, what went wrong?

[Free the language], as you can see on homepage, "is a concept of language learning". What is it really though, about freeing? The idea is to have people really become engaged in language, to inject or perform "inception" if you get the reference. I want people to accept the language they learn into their lives and not just under circumstances such as in school, for tests or for work. It's an attitude, a way of life and we don't live multiple lives, do we? Different characters you may have, but with the same principles you must be true to. To be honest, my goal is so much more than just language. It's because this is the only way that I know and have the ability to help people be really free from fear, from dogma and from themselves. I'm just a tiny dust in the air with a dream the size of the valley. Call me a dreamer but I won't quit

I'm glad to see my efforts take roots. Classes are stable and students are happy. Soon, I'd like to have my first partner to also co-write this blog. Andrea, this means you.
