Reality check


Learning a new language will take time. There's no getting around it. But that shouldn't be a cause for concern. There are plenty of things that you spend a lot of time on, but don't dread doing.

Sports. Hobbies. Music. Food. Travel. Sleep. Movies. Books. Dancing. Yoga. 

A long time does not imply a lot of effort. A long time does not imply boredom. A long time does not imply a lot of expense.

You just need to get used to the sounds and the words and the word patterns of another language. That requires exposure. And for the exposure to be sufficient, it needs to be at a low-enough intensity.

But learning a language is up to you. No one else can do it for you. There's no one else whom you might rightfully blame if the results aren't what you want.
