I stopped learning something
You started a course, habit, language, skill, or project. Then something changed. Before you blame yourself, find out what kind of stop it is.

Learning signal / live notes
The stop is the signal.
Before you blame yourself, find out what kind of stop it is.
Fans of Learning is a learning lab by Martin and Erika. We test reading, Mandarin, AI, body, habits, and other skills in public to understand what happens when learning starts, stops, restarts, and changes who we become.

Learning stops
What kind of stop are you here with?
Fans of Learning is becoming a testing router: different doorways, one lab, and a clear next step for each kind of learning problem.
Find your stop
Doorway
I want to use AI as a mirror
AI can help you investigate why learning stopped if you give it better questions than generic productivity prompts.
Doorway
I run a course or community
Learners may not disappear because they lack discipline. They may be hitting predictable stops your course does not yet support.
Doorway
I want to follow the lab
Follow what Martin and Erika are reading, testing, practicing, and noticing while the method is still warm.
Currently testing
Small offers from the lab.
These are early paid tests. Each one is narrow enough to deliver now and sharp enough to teach us what people actually want help with.
For individuals
01The Stop Audit
Bring one thing you stopped learning or changing. Leave with a clearer read on what kind of stop it probably is and what to try next.
For AI-curious learners
02AI Mirror Session
A guided process for using AI to investigate one learning stop without turning it into generic advice or endless rumination.
For creators
03Course Impasse Audit
We look at one course or module and identify where learners are likely to stall, misdiagnose themselves, or need a support layer.
The living map
Practice here, changes there.
The point is not a bigger shelf of knowledge. It is transfer: the moment one practice starts changing another.

Habits
Active transfer
Tango changes the body. The body changes attention. Attention changes reading.
The working library
A library that feels alive.
Less archive, more workbench: the books, signs, notes, and practices active right now.
From attention to trust
Follow the work as it becomes useful.
The library starts with the visible shelf: what Martin and Erika are reading, what they are practicing, and the small signals worth saving before they become polished notes.

Why this exists
We believe humans are not finished. The way we move, think, relate, and remember can be retrained in layers throughout life. Nothing you learn stays in its own box.
Questions
Built for people who like to test.
What is Fans of Learning?
A learning lab by Martin and Erika, a couple in Stockholm. We test skills, AI, body, language, habits, and the moment learning stops.
Who is this for?
People who stopped learning something they still care about, AI-curious learners, course creators, and people who want to follow a live learning lab.
What do I get if I sign up?
The newsletter: field notes from the lab, learning stop examples, AI mirror prompts, reading and Mandarin experiments, and early invitations to test Fans of Learning offers.
Do you sell anything?
We are starting with small paid tests: Stop Audits, AI Mirror sessions, and Course Impasse Audits. The point is to learn what actually helps before we build too much.
