I hate that "learning language" and "learning physical skills" work so differently for me than other things. I'm tired of being the old hand in circus still lagging behind newbies. I hate that I've been struggling to learn French for months & my partner & kid are picking things up w/little effort.

I get that "I hurt all the time" & "my hearing is unreliable" are reasonable explanations for my experiences. But it's frustrating that I'm spending so much time lately in modes I struggle with.
