nowdays more and more convinence tools can be used to support learning and speaking, I think the final goal isnt for "fluently" but "let people understand what you want to say"

These are the errors most people do in life in general. All of your advice can be summed into a single phrase: be a chill guy. I also often get discouraged not from the difficulty of the language but from seeing people being so much better than me and I think that's something many people should keep in mind: just walk at your own pace and don't do what others do if you don't like it. For example I don't like using Anki or artificial intelligence to learn a language and sometimes I feel guilty for not doing enough but with time I'm still getting better using my methods.

I have a question. Sometimes I cannot figure out the sentence even though I know all the words and the grammar structure. It takes so much time to figure out. Some sentences are really complex, I hardly understand. There are so many problems like that. What way should I follow?

My problem is retention. I think it's gone in, but then when I come to review I find it's like starting again. So very frustrating 😔

4 mistakes language learners make all the time:
🚫 Don’t pressure yourself to speak perfectly
🚫 Don’t try to “master” the basics first
🚫 Don’t get discouraged by difficulty
🚫 Don’t obsess over perfect pronunciation
Try to enjoy the process, stay consistent, and build confidence. That’s all it takes!
Which one do you relate to most?
