I'm hesitant to say "it's going well".

I'm keeping up with duolingo but have completely ignored grammar and haven't studied properly in a long time.

How about finding friends for learning the same language?

Either way best of luck you can do it!🌻✨

I've tried, but I find it increasingly difficult to find new friends as I age. Tried going to some meetups (not language specific, but I currently live in the country of the target language) and met nice people, but just didn't connect.

I'll definitely keep trying though. Thanks for the positive comment! Best of luck to you as well :)

Hey, what language are you trying to learn? I'm interested in learning Spanish, but find myself losing interest after a while. If that's one of the languages you're interested in, we can try this.

Either way, I wish you the best of luck!

I have the same problem: get occasionally really into it and then lose interest again.

I'm trying to learn German and sadly don't speak Spanish at all :( but thanks for the offer and wish you best of the luck as well! Let us prove the world (slowly) that we can do this!
