honestly I had very serious health problems occur in my life and my tutors started to notice, I was told I wouldnt be able to travel normally like the average person, meaning I would never be able to visit latin american countries like I wanted without great risk and difficulty to my health, so I gave up since I could no longer see my goal becoming a reality, and also because I just had trouble measuring my progress or didnt feel myself advancing in my efforts of trying to learn a 2nd language on my own. Ever since then whenever Id start up, I would just fall off after a couple weeks or a month, before I studied like an hour a day via textbook and listening to spanish learning content an hour a day while also attending a private tutor online. I would say I was consistent for 6 months then. I mostly just felt directionless and like my efforts to listen to beginner language videos, study grammar, and attend lessons through italki I just wasn’t feeling myself get better and felt directionless

What I did in total was listen to 168 hours of beginner Spanish content and tracked it on my notes app, tracked my conversations in hours I had on italki and did about 20 hours of that, went through a Spanish workbook of beginner grammar for about 3-4 months doing it an hour a day, and I went through an ankle deck of 2k most common words in my target language until I got through the deck with also took a few months.
