I saw this quote on the Weight Watchers Facebook page and I thought it fit in terms of learning anything complex like language learning . However, I disagree with the last part, motivation keeps you going also when the going gets tough. Habit helps you sustain it.

It's not like eating chocolate or smoking a cigarette, if you lose motivation you'll break the habit very quickly!

I wish I could get addicted to learning Spanish like I'm addicted to chocolate.

Yes, Rabbit. And punishment discourages any good Spanish habit, :) - Sabor, Mar 13, 2011
So what you're saying is.. every time I learn some Spanish I should eat some chocolate. Good idea Sabor, I'm glad you thought of it. - rabbitwho, Mar 14, 2011
