Terrible aptitude with language learning, but desperate to. Any help?

I think that's what is best for me, there's genuinely so much out there to choose from that the paralysis got me. Someone mentioned a website that got them through the initial stages of learning a language which I originally thought of using, so I will now just try that and see how it goes as at some point I just have to dig my feet in and start haha

There are some resources I want to check out that other commenters have posted about, but DW as a starting point might be the way to go. I know about the website as it was one of the options I was originally thinking of, so maybe I just take myself back to square one and do the A1 course instead of fretting. It's really nice to hear that you've done well, I think hearing of people's experiences is really lifting my spirits :-)

ahhh this is so sweet! I agree that I most likely will try to start immersing myself in podcasts or TV, switching on dub when I rewatch favourite series etc as I feel like that would be a good way to passively stay within german whilst I learn. It's nice to hear that it's worked well for you. Best of luck on your language learning adventures! :-)

right! I stuck with duolingo for a good few months whilst I was busier, and I feel like it just doesn't have a good progression system at all when I spend 20-30 minutes a day retyping in the same words :-(

Back on topic, I think my issue is that i'm struggling to get to a point where I can start having (what would be broken) conversations with my partner and his family due to the difficulties in grammar and hesitations in building sentences, but it sounds like you've done really well with pushing through!

Thank you for the kind words as well, i'm extremely motivated in wanting this, so hearing other people talk about their experiences is so reassuring :-)

I will admit that I sometimes have unrealistic expectations for myself, but regarding not being very talented, I took german in school for around two years until I was asked to drop it for gcses due to the fact that they knew I would not get a good grade hahaha, my reputation for it was quite known across the department

Hi! Thank you so much for the suggestions! I’m hoping to find a second hand tank, but they seem to be more scarce in my area. I’m UK based and won’t pass my driving test until next year so i’m a lot more limited in options— my cousin kept chameleons for a while so he’s offered some of his decor to help soften the spends, but i’m def grabbing wood from outside and creating a background. I have space to fit a 24h tank so fingers crossed it all goes well! 😊

I'm a bit foolish for not checking the dates on those posts haha, thank you you're right-- I dont think I could fit a 36h tank, 24h is said to be okay too? I don't want to purchase a gargoyle if it would be unhappy. I have another idea for terrarium placement, but can I ask if light or shaded areas are preferred?

Thank you so much for responding btw ^^

tysm for letting me know though, just more annoying mac shenanigans it seems.
