I have so many questions; how do I find answers? I am forgetting things!
I have too many questions. I ask them here on Italki many times, but I usually don't get helpful answers because they are too hard for me to understand. My bedroom has turned into a nightmare of papers with my questions written on them. I go through them and, unfortunately, even though they might be unanswered, dispose of them. I do this with ones that I may have uploaded repeatedly on Italki, and get things like the following:
•Answers that contradict eachother.
•Direct translations (ones that contradict what the dictionary says)
•Things that require a grammar genious to analyze. (these are the ones that use BIG FANCY GRAMMAR WORDS!)
And, usually after this I look up articles to read that might explain it. These are usually poorly written articles, and I usually just click on what pops up first.
How can I get answers without going through so much trouble?
Even when I am clear about my questions, people still seem to have trouble answering them. I spend 100% of my time looking for answers, and now I am beginning to forget things I have learned. Unfortunately, this is draining my interest in learning ANY language anymore. ):

A qualified teacher is worth the money. Someone who has teaching experience can support your learning style and explain things in a way that you can understand. Might save you hours of frustration! Remember that a lot of us folks on italki are doing this for fun and are not professionals. Also, if you are receiving contradictory answers, it may because there are regional and cultural differences impacting how different individuals speak the same language. Language is always a bit of a moving target. But that's part of the fun!
