Tried Learning a Language and Failed? Share Your Story

I wanted to learn Mapudungun as a forth language but when I tried. There's so much politic propaganda, which is the same problem that I faced with Catalan (Valencian dialect) and I stopped learning it for that reason, so I decided not to face that issue again and chose and Asian language instead. At first, I was thinking in Japanese or Russian, but when I listened to different dialects all of them sounded so similar to my outsider's ears.

On the other hand, when I heard a lot of Chinese from Hong Kong, Taiwan, Macau, Guangdong, and Xinjiang, I noticed the differences, and then I decided to learn Mandarin Chinese as my fourth language.

I tried to learn Italian and just gave up

I tried to learn Spanish and just gave up

I tried to RE-learn my first language, Russian, and just gave up

I´ve tried to learn Italian and knew a lot, but when I got to 5th grade, the teacher changed, and he had a special method that didn´t help me in anything, so I´ve gone from knowing everything to knowing nothing about Italian. That´s why I´m trying to learn it on Duolingo, and it works!

I'm trying to learn Korean but forgetting words etc. Which starts to feel like, why learn things if I will quickly forget them?

Yup, if you already speak one romance language. You're halfway there, you didn't start from zero because you speak Spanish and Italian is a brother in the romance tree, so a tool like Duolingo or Bussu will help you a lot. Maybe your teacher focused too much on grammar but that helps when you already got a nice level in the language and you want to become a master (Like learning all of the lines and theorical ideas of your openings and defenses in chess). Ignore your teacher, just get good grades and keep learning in your own way also watching series/youtube channels in Italian can help you

Yup. Human brain is lazy xD

I try to learn Japanese, but I failed 😣

Honestly I don't know how to learn anything in general because I'm just going to forget it later anyway... 😔

I also forget stuffs for that reason you can see in this club is everything noted. When you want to put that into practice, watch your notes and don't worry if you think a lot. Native speakers are so nice with people that learn their language

I was trying to see if I could get some basics down on Italian and well I failed miserably

at one point I was literally taking notes and actually enjoying it but then i couldn't even speak it every time I would I would mess up on it and so i gave up on learning another language

I tried to learn the Finnish language a bit, through the internet, but gave up after learning 2-3 phrases. Another amazingly hard language is Georgian, but go to YouTube, and search Georgian rap...they are fire

Began to learn japanese but gave up

Nah, my teacher´s focus on grammar is TOTAL 0
