See title. I’ve been to quite a few local language meetups and saw lots of people IRL who are learning languages: wondering how are y’all doing too
For myself… learning French due to necessity. I am making progress, just veeery slow. I underestimated how difficult it would be (a lot of vocabs between English/French are similar… but the languages themselves are not!)
fwiw i’ve tried to learn it 3 times. 2 failures were because the classes i was taking was full of tourists who dind’t really want to do the work. and the teachers sucked. it would take us like 4 classes to learn basic greetings.
i’m doing well now because i’m doing it alone and away from the tourist classes. just get Genki or Japanese for busy people and work on it an hour or so each day.
if you can’t do that you won’t learn it. it’s not hard, it just requires a lot of time commitment.
