this post title talks about "year-long journey" but I don't see anything related to it in the post itself.

Eh, perfecting one's language use could be a journey - but what exactly would make this process an actual journey?

How do we distinguish between journey and non-journey?

I have been learning German ( via Duolingo) for the last two months. Does it count as a journey? So far it feels like a walk in a wood without a map.

Thanks for taking time to comment, I'm realizing the message turned out vague. My main point was that, while I do set up on a year-long "journey", the specific techniques are not as important as handling motivation. "The map" basically boils down to practice, and the biggest part of the "journey" is going to be how I keep up the motivation.
