In this paper, I use an ethnographical approach, coupled with literature on autonomous learning to reflect on my experiences in learning foreign languages. I found that we can learn foreign languages easily when we develop good attitudes. We must not see differences in various languages as something that hinders us to learn the languages. Developing an open mind is an important requirement in learning languages. Languages seem to be difficult to study not because they are foreign languages but it is because we have negative attitudes about learning the language. However, learning technical terms in grammar often gives a big burden on learning foreign languages which often makes us discouraged from learning them.
