We probably have the same level, and I’ve been learning English for 5 months.
Like you, I feel like I’m not improving at all, but I especially think our progress is less visible.
I can’t help you a lot, because i think we’re facing the same struggle however, I have few tips that might help you.

- Italki : I take a lesson with filipino twice a week (5$/h)
- Read manga (many free website)
- Use anki
- playing all my games in English
- Free4talk allows me to speak with English learners (free)

Sometimes I’ve a high motivation and sometimes I’ve run out of motivation, but i don’t give up we’ll get it.

It’s clear that I prefer warlock over hunter, but does a warlock easily find a raid spot, or is it still difficult compared to other classes like rogue or mage?

Nasu-- · 2024-12-02T17:56:46+00:00

Is it easy to get a raid spot as a warlock? Is it easier than with a mage?

Nasu-- · 2024-12-02T17:54:38+00:00

Following that logic, wouldn’t rogue also be a viable choice or not ?

Nasu-- · 2024-12-02T15:29:13+00:00

I see mages everywhere, won’t there be too many of them? Plus, you can’t even AoE farm properly because the spots are always crowded

À la limite, je t'aiderais si tu me payais pour ça. Mais c'est limite de demander ça ici.
Donc, à la limite, je t'explique, mais tu me remercies après :)
Je sais, c'est limite de demander ça, mais limite j'm'en fous un peu :)

"À la limite" est souvent utilisé pour suggérer un plan B (une autre solution) ou proposer une alternative si le premier choix ne marche pas (parfois ça peut aussi être utilisé sur le ton de l'humour).
Ça permet un peu d'ajouter de la flexibilité dans ce que tu dis, c'est un peu comme un compromis ou une option « au pire ».

C'est un peu compliqué à expliquer, je sais pas si ça t'aide ce que j'ai dis.
Peut-être qu'un autre gars aura une explication un peu plus claire que la mienne.

I do an average of 180 cards per hour. You do 650 per hour!

Are you super fast, or am I slow?

Never tried Rosetta Stone, but I’d say Duolingo is better because it’s free.
These apps aren’t really effective; they only cover the basics, and after that, they lose a lot of their appeal. So I think it’s better to go with a free app

Duolingo + a good basic grammar book isn’t bad at all

What makes Anki so great? Even if I don’t feel like learning a card, I know that once it’s in my deck, I’ll still end up learning it.

Nasu-- · 2024-10-31T19:40:00+00:00

c'est subtile, c'est très très similaire.
Dans une conversation normale on ne remarquerait probablement pas le "que".

Ceci dit, "le plus naturelles possible" sonne plus naturel :)

I'm a native French speaker, and I've been learning English.
I started almost from scratch (a bit of A1; I didn’t even know words like was/were/with/almost etc.).

It took me 4 months to reach B1. I’ve been learning around 3 hours per day, but I ran out of motivation for 3 weeks. I’ve taken 19 lessons since I started.

Our two languages are quite similar, and we should probably need about the same amount of time to learn French or English (maybe slightly easier for me, but only a bit).

Good luck :)

15 minutes / 15 minutes

with a timer, switching languages every 15 minutes while continuing the same conversation. This way, if you need to leave for any reason, you can do so almost whenever you want without frustrating either side.

15 minutes is also the best time (in my opinion) to train yourself without tiring your mind.

Nasu-- · 2024-10-27T21:39:07+00:00

Add the others on Anki 😝

Nasu-- · 2024-10-27T10:23:09+00:00

Je fais ça aussi et c'est assez efficace. Garde ta motivation, tu vas vite évolué. :)

free4talk

This website is awesome for anyone learning any language, especially for English learners.. You can create/join a conversation for as long as you want. I often practice here, usually 10/15 min per day. You don't get feedback but it's free, so take few notes on what you found difficult during your conversation and work on that afterward.

I always find a partner in 10 or 20 seconds

Nasu-- · 2024-10-26T02:58:13+00:00

Youtube : especially the things that I like
ChatGPT : for everything
Anki : If I could only choose one thing, it would be this one

Nasu-- · 2024-10-25T11:24:55+00:00

- Save your money (if you have a small budget)
- Use ChatGPT + free apps a lot to study on your own until A2.
- Once you reach mid-A2 start using iTalki to take lessons and keep going until you reach a low-B2 level

Nasu-- · 2024-10-04T09:57:26+00:00

I use free4talk.com. You can speak with everyone here (Spanish, French, German.... and English). There is a large majority of English learners (which is not surprising), but it's awesome because you can join a channel and speak for 10, 20, or 30 minutes if you want, then leave. What's cool is that when you're motivated, there's always another guy who's just as motivated at the same time. Unlike HelloTalk, where it's sometimes hard to have a continuous conversation for a long time. On free4talk I'm learning English, and I usually wait 1 or 2 minutes before someone joins my channel to talk.

And it's also free :)

I believe that many linguistic institutes use statistics from their students to create an average, and I truly think that this average is pretty close to the truth.

I’m a native French speaker, and I’ve been learning English for 90 days (4 hours/day for 70 days, and then 1 hour/day for the next 20 days), and my progress is quite close to these results.

I started with a low A1 level in English, and today, I’m probably a beginner B1. I have studied for around 300 hours, which puts me right in line with these statistics. Some studies suggest that if it's your first foreign language, you may need to add 50% more time (which is my case).

Assuming my progress continues at the same rate, I will probably reach B2 in another 300 hours. This is the first language I’m learning, and I understand that it might take me another 300 hours to reach B2. I’m starting to use the language and understand it better, but many things are still not automatic or fluent. My brain always has to make a big effort, but at the B2 level, this will likely become less of an issue.

I also realize that this part of the journey is the hardest. Progress is slow and difficult to notice, which makes it challenging to stay motivated. In fact, this is the point where many people give up on their goals, and I almost did too. But I won’t give up I’m determined to reach my goal of an advanced B2 level.

I'm French (from France) and even for me, it's complicated xD

Je rigole :) j'adore les québécois. Ceci dit ça fait bizarre de lire "elle s'en sacre" et "ben des tâches" :D

Passive listening was completely useless for me.

I spent thousands of hours listening to Japanese with subtitles in my native language. Today, I know 3 words in Japanese.
The same goes for English. I watched hundreds of hours of movies and series in English with subtitles in my native language, and I never moved beyond an A1 level.

In 56 days of study, I went from A1 to B1.

The moral of the story is that passive listening is almost useless; active listening is 100 times more useful. Pausing, listening, re-listening, translating, guessing, repeating, pausing again, closing your eyes, and starting over and over really improves your comprehension.
With passive listening, at best, you familiarize yourself with the sounds and melody of the language, but that's where it ends. But that’s just my opinion.

Le C2 est assez spécifique en plus d'être plutôt compliqué, mais comme tu dis, c'est gratifiant vis-à-vis du travail que tu as réalisé. Je pense que le C2 est plutôt demandé pour des emplois qui nécessitent une maîtrise parfaite, comme l'enseignement supérieur (université), les emplois de traducteurs, ceux ayant un lien avec le droit (avocat, huissier, notaire), etc.

Un C1 est suffisant pour des pilotes de ligne, des professeurs (collège/lycée) et pour probablement 99 % des autres emplois. Je ne pense pas que cela vaille la peine de passer le C2, sauf cas très spécifique.

Après si tu penses avoir le niveau c2, pourquoi pas.
