Learning Languages Is So Strange Sometimes. Like Thinking All The Way Back To How It Started Is Wildly

Learning languages is so strange sometimes. Like thinking all the way back to how it started is wildly entertaining when it all boils down.

My favorite example is in French you would say “pomme” in order to say “Apple” and to say “Potato” you would say “pomme de terre” which means “Apple of earth”…..

Like imagine looking at a potato and going “mmmmm apple”

Amazing.

A1-A2: man, there're so many words I need to know in order to say literally anything

B1-B2: wow, what I know is enough now

C1-C2: man, there're so many weirdly specific words I need to know in order to describe these weirdly specific things I've only seen once in my life. Also I forgot how to say ceiling.

You can become fluent in a language without living somewhere that it's spoken widely. You can immerse yourself if you make the choice and put in the work. Do not give up. Fluency is attainable, and not just for people with some sort of natural gift. Find things made in the language, things that are better in that language, things that are only available in that language, and love them with your whole heart. You will become fluent.
