Learning a new language is a humiliating process

Desperately trying to speak in broken sentences to someone who is, at best, slightly pitying you for trying, or at worst, annoyed with you. The worst is when you’re doing such a bad job they just switch over to English because it’s not worth the effort.

I’m sure I’ve come off as actually reguarded to some people because I cant property communicate my thoughts. Everyone says that immersion is the best way to do it, and they’re not wrong, but they don’t mention you’ll have to humiliate yourself a lot before you get good.
