Once I know enough to get the gist and communicate imperfectly, I find it hard to stay motivated to deal with all the details!

Thanks for the many votes :D More seriously, everyone has some difficulties, and pretty much everyone has some advantage over someone else. (Just think of the luxury it is not to be deaf or blind!)
Surely, some difficulties are more common than others, and HTLAL'ers seem better than average with grammar, for example. But if we take your question literally, then I believe the difficulty that absolutely everyone faces is overcoming your own bias and misconceptions. Pretty much everybody starts out with some irrational/unrealistic ideas and has to let them go. Edited by Serpent on 14 January 2015 at 12:48am 3 persons have voted this message useful | |||

Staying motivated when you think you're going
nowhere. Not to start yet another language. 3 persons have voted this message useful | |||

The most difficult is to stop stacking study material and actually studying.

The most difficult thing about learning German is that I can't quit learning Mandarin.
The most difficult thing to learn was how to be non-judgmental about my performance. I used to disappoint myself if I didn't understand something. I thought I should be able to understand it. As time passed, I realized I was silly to have expectations about time and performance. Now I believe that sustainable learning is the heart of it. The question isn't "How can I get good at Chinese?" or "How can I learn it faster?". The question is, "How can I make learning this language a part of my daily life?", or "What do I enjoy doing with this language, and that I can continue to do regularly for the unforeseeable future?" 2 persons have voted this message useful |
