If you think that learning Spanish is difficult, try Thai. After nearly 11 yrs. I've given up. Here's an example of a Thai sentence if it was written in English. heresanexampleofathaisentenceifitwaswritteninenglish No capital letters, no punctuation, no tenses, and every sentence, spoken or written ends in Ka, for female, Like Chinese, it's a tonal language and one word can have 5 different tones and 5 dfferent unrelated meanings. Fortunately, Thais are a patient people and slow to get annoyed.
There are many reasons to leave the US, police protocols certainly being amongst the first.
Regarding your Spanish efforts: it's relatively easy to speak but comprehension is more difficult. I am fluent in the language but if someone doesn't speak clearly, uses a lot of slang, uses a regional dialect or unfamiliar accent, or if it's simply too noisy to hear, then I struggle.
Listen to even a few minutes of Spanish, especially Mexican Spanish , on audiobook and YouTube every day and you will make a lot of progress.
Appreciate the suggestions. I do listen to quite a bit of Spanish each day, and I have a daily private lesson where we only speak Spanish. I also watch Mexican movies. I know I'm making progress but it is slow.
