S'funny. I'm OK with motivation and I have absolutely no problems in making mistakes :-) My issues are mostly with finding enough hours in the day to do all the language activities I've planned for that day, while still managing to fit in all the stuff that life throws at you. Oh to be a kid again and have endless hours of private tuition from two adults who will be incredibly embarrassed if you don't grow up speaking like a native :-) 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Lack of patience which leads me to think I'm not improving fast enough. Also, being
afraid of making mistakes when speaking. 3 persons have voted this message useful | |||

grammar. especially when you see the grammar rules you spend a good amount of time learning and practicing fail real-life conversations... imagine that frustrating moment.
but of course, every language has its loose, weird and goofy side, and that's the beauty of natural languages -- superregular and flawless grammars are for computers. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Not having contact with native speakers and not practicing the speaking...
I haven't had big problems with grammers, but I have problem with learning new words and phrases.. and remembering them.. So, even when I am sure I won't make a grammatic mistake (or at least not a big one), I forget a word and I'm not able to express my thoughts or emotions... 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Time. Most of my other obstacles (opportunities to speak/practise, difficulties with particular aspects like pronunciation, struggling to maintain/improve my level in several languages) could probably be worked out if I had the time!

I struggle the most with pride - I don't like to look stupid and this inhibits me when I
speak spontaneously. With German, I also avoided doing textbook exercises or drills (learning entirely through shadowing and transcription), which means that I still make major "schoolboy errors" from time to time, if I have a rare construction like informal 2nd person plural pluperfect. Now that I'm using the drill sections of the Linguaphone Spanish course, I can really see how well they make you focus on the details, and having to teach English using textbook materials makes me appreciate that they are valuable in exercising lesser-known variations of conjugation for some aspect of grammar. 2 persons have voted this message useful | |||
