My observation is that in language learning there are always people that will come to correct or improve your method, say they have something better and tell you why you are wrong.

It’s important to be a bit strong willed against this type of comment in the internet and stick to your instincts. Not to say good things cannot be learned out from others, but finding out what works for your particular needs through self experiment is really important, and on the long run time exposure to the target language trumps over methods.

Some examples:

- Learn grammar from a good book vs. absorb it naturally from material.

- The [tool I’m using] is better than [tool I’ve never tried].

- The [method I used for a month] is better than [old method I used for years].

- The [tool I’m selling] is better than [my competitor’s].

It’s easy to get discouraged if you don’t see the patterns and think you are doing something wrong, it’s better to keep vigilant.
