A Goodreads user asked Manny Rayner:

Do you think it is worth it to study a foreign language at University, fearing it is the only possible way one can learn another language, or should one attempt to learn a language at their own pace despite fearing the process will be monumentally more slow and strenuous?

Manny Rayner I'm afraid experience shows that everyone learns languages in their own way. It all depends on what kind of person you are and what you're trying to achieve.

David asked Manny Rayner:

Thanks, Manny. By the way, what would you say are the main differences between chess and go? I have heard that chess is more logical and go more intuitive, is it true? Is calculation more important in chess than in go?
