Greatest language learning struggles + HOW TO OVERCOME THEM! ✨ improve your study plan

Here are the greatest struggles that I have encountered over the course of learning about 3-4 foreign languages (besides my native one). These are the actual difficulties I’ve faced and have observed from other polyglots / language learning youtubers. Being a beginner at language learning isn't easy but you can definitely overcome your challenges and work your way to fluency!

Whether you’re a beginner or an expert at language learning, I think it’s important to know these things whilst on your journey. I hope you take these things into consideration when creating your own study plan!

Hope it helps :)
