Her keyword was most of all "interest": the word, coming from Latin "interesse" (originally meaning "to be between"), has a double meaning, referring to the material profit or the mental attraction, together: "motivation". This means that I can answer these questions: "How much am I interested in it? What do I want with it? What does it mean for me? What good is it for me?" She didn't believe in the so-called language talent. She tended to express the language skill and its fruitfulness with a fraction, with "motivation" in the numerator (as well as "invested time," although if there is true motivation, one can pinch off some ten minutes a day even with the busiest job), and "inhibition" in the denominator (the fear of starting to speak, of being clumsy, of being laughed at). In her conviction, the stronger the motivation is within us, and the more we can put aside inhibition, the sooner we can take possession of the language.
