^for one, the French is about the fight for the d4 square. In the Pirc, you play for f5 and attack on the kingside.
I am garbage and can't improve

You do not play for f5 in the Pirc. You are thinking of the King's Indian Defense:
you play f5 in both, no? The only major difference is the missing c4 pawn.
Well that's good to know. I play it in defence to d4.
trade all pieces, study endgame.
Ok. I also recently got a lichess account so i will look at things on that there.
Good for you.

You're not the only one who's garbage. Magnus is off his high in 2014 and for 8 years cannot improve. Give yourself 8 years!
It will take me ages to get there on my own.
Also, no one wants to (or can) help a GM. People can help a 500.
When Magnus was 3 he was garbage and never after that.
True.
The secret to getting better is getting your brain to do something that's really (really) hard for it.
Watching videos is ok for the awareness. But once you start the puzzling, you're taking the plunge.
Any tips for getting over 1500?I am not improving now.Thanks

++ A rating of 500 is a sign of frequent blunders.
Always check your intended move is no blunder before you play it.
Hang no pieces, hang no pawns and you are 1500 overnight.
Hang no pieces, hang no pawns and you become 1500???
I am 1300 and you have to find forks and pins (most important tactics) to progress from 1200 to even 1300
pins and forks are included in hanging pieces. hanging a fork of a king and queen is still considered hanging your queen.
Happy Birthday

2184 at what?
He started playing competitive chess a few months before becoming 9 yo.
Pirc defence. I find the ideas are similar to the French. I do still think that your opening video is worth watching.
Don't focus on openings if you're 500!!! The French and Pirc defense have nowhere near the same ideas!
