I knew learning Spanish wasn't going to be easy. Let's be real I took it 2 years in high school, 2 years in college, several classes since college, and even had a private tutor for a summer. Plus I was always around the language when I taught second grade and Head Start. Therefore, I felt like I had a leg-up when I started classes in September.
This has been a rollercoster ride that I was not expecting. One day I feel like I'm on top of the world, I can communicate, I understand, I'm moving along so well - and then I fall. I have days where I literally can't say anything but Hola. I stare at the person and my brain is frozen. It's so incredibly frustrating.
I know I've made progress, but not nearly as much as I had hoped to at this point. I will keep plugging away at it and I hope I'll get there, but some days I have serious doubts if this is going to happen.
Going to go study...

Learning a language is a roller coaster ride, but you are doing much better than you think. You can't measure your progress against the locals. Hola
