Why You’re Still Not Fluent: The Truth No App Will Tell You
Learning a language isn’t quick. It’s not easy. And no — it’s not “just like learning your first one, but faster.”
Unless you have a rich uncle you never knew about, or just won the lottery, real change takes effort. You don’t drop 30kg overnight. You don’t make 30k in your sleep (unless you’re scamming people). And you don’t become fluent in a language in 30 days, no matter what some shiny online course promises.
You know what actually keeps you going?
➡️ A damn good reason.
- Hate your job and dream of working abroad?
- Fell in love with a Spaniard who only speaks with their hands and heart?
- Tired of being overcharged at your local market because you don’t speak the language?
- Sick of smiling like an idiot while being insulted?
Good. That’s your fuel. Use it.
Because learning a language isn’t just about doing lessons. It’s a fight. But not one you have to hate.
👉 When your why is strong enough, the hard parts start feeling like part of a treasure hunt, not a soul-crushing commute.
You stop memorising. You start hunting for clues. You listen differently. You care more.
That’s when the magic happens. Slowly. Messily. But for real.
Tell me why
If your only motivation is “It would be nice to speak French,” you’ll quit.
But if it’s:
“I’ll prove that teacher wrong.”
“I want to stop feeling stupid.”
“I’m not letting life pass me by in translation.”
Then you’ve got something solid to stand on.
So what’s your reason?
Drop it in the comments — or write it down and tape it to your wall.
