Sadly just english, it seems im incapable of learning a secodn language :(
Practice makes perfect, seriously. Just feed sites through Google Translate, watch foreign movies, stuff like that to gain exposure. It sounds dumb but it's honestly the thing that helps me the most


Also Duolingo, that is a FANTASTIC resource

Want to hear a funny story? I had the exact same mind at 15 years old. It seemed that I could only speak French :( I couldn't understand a single English word. Classes were a failure, and I kept failing over and over.

And guess what? It turns out I can speak English decently well today :)

The key of succeeding? Never EVER stop trying harder and harder.

Unless you have a severe intellectual disability then you're more than capable of learning a foreign language. Your first is always going to be the hardest. Oh, and the beginner's grind when your pronunciation fucking sucks and everyone seems to be speaking way too fast is the most painful part of the learning process.

Literally anything other than English would be a start. Since I live in wales I'm being pushed to learn welsh in school but no matter how hard I try it always fails.
I wish I spoke Welsh, but not living in the UK I'd probably never have anyone to speak it with :/

As for remembering shit that's what Anki is for
