Default Do you have fun when you learn something?

Let me tell you, when I learn something it's always fun and probably I learn better like this. So the question is, do you have fun when you learn something? Do you remind better when you have any fun?

I keep pressing myself at times to learn new skills, skills I don't naturally like, but I end up tired and frustrated. So now what I do is look for the things I enjoy most doing and make the best of it, to enjoy and excel at the same time like in English!
Or in some cases when this thing is inevitable I try to learn to like it first, that time I would excel in it, for sure!

I have fun or I would say I feel better when I pronounce French because It makes me feel that I make progress.

I always have fun when I'm learning!
Because at the most of the time, I learn with somebody else and from someone, so these experiences are always funny and good for me.
In the end, everybody laugh of the own mistakes...
Life is a great learning; we learn all the time with the people, with our daily situations...
During I been learning, I can say that I'm alive!

Oh, guys, you must be really happy in your life...

I'm not always happy when I have to learn. Well, fortunately, nowadays I am not that young to learn too many things I don't want to, but when I'm thinking about my university times I don't really remember too many things I learned with fun.
So: I quite often do not enjoy things I learn. Sorry for being so pessimistic! But I always enjoy learning things I want to learn!

Me too! I think everyone has his own interest. Others call it "passion".
Just wait when we talk about it, and then we soar on high spirits.
I can't get English out of my mind these days. It has been my habit to learn English. Everytime I hear new words or expressions from any medium, I tend to try to assimilate them and make sentences out of them, even dialogues. How fun is it to learn English. And now, I've found a learning partner in English. We agreed to talk in English more often. I'm just so happy about it.

I do have fun in learning many things, such as languages. I find myself unconsciously memorizes what i need if i am interested in it.

Actually i quite enjoy learning foreign languages. More precisely, i am interested majorly in logic, pronunciation and linguistics. So I still feel a little unwilling while learning formal writings, even in my mother language.

yes,i agree what you said. life is experience, life is trying to learn something new that you haven't experienced. why don't we rather enjoy the learning than hating it!
