something you should know about second language acquisition is that the whole process of learning a new language is dynamic but slow. it doesn’t matter if you’re leaning French, Spanish or German, it is going to take time and that’s okay. it actually takes years for learners to build up a system similar to native speakers. “instantaneous acquisition”? forget about it. so, enjoy the process! do not feel bad bc you’re not native-like. try to communicate as much as you want in your L2 but don’t be harsh on yourself bc you made mistakes <3
