Good article, but we all know those books that promise to teach a 
language in 24 hours or 21 days do not make us masters. We just 
want to see how it feels or try to grasp the basics and then 
practice it with more advanced books.

I too believe in that 10,000 hours theory, but we should begin 
somewhere, right?
