I must say, I made the mistake of thinking that it was enough to make a habit to get a result. At that time, I was interested, so I did not notice that interest was required here. But now I realize that only some part of the crystallized intellect, and not dynamic, can be made into a habit, learning anything, including languages, is not the activation of already learned neural connections, but the creation of new ones, this requires straining the intellect and this cannot be to do purely out of habit, some kind of emotional motivation is needed, for example, interest. So now I don’t study any one particular language, but switch between English, German, Greek, Latin and Italian as my interest fades / grows, in order to constantly keep it at a high level for at least one language.
