Hi, Jane! Don't be confused! First of all, foreign language is not that thing you could learn in 1-2-3 year(s). For example, lets take your native language even. I'm convinced there are a lot things that you haven't heard yet about it! That's why you shouldn't be angry at yourself while studuing foreign one=) Second thing is that may be you have already reached good level. Because on the higher level progress is less expressed. Sometimes you could feel a stagnation. Don't panic! It's all right!

Hi Jane, I know exactly how you feel! Language learning is a long and challenging process, it's so important not to get discouraged. It sounds like you are practicing passive skills (listening and perhaps reading) , but you need lots of practice in active skills (speaking and writing) in order to feel confident. I suggest creating an English immersion environment at home. Read, listen, speak, and write as much as possible. I would try to book lessons with an English tutor, or you could find a language parter. It is so important to get speaking practice and not be afraid to make mistakes. You could even record yourself speaking about a topic and this would help you learn lots of new vocabulary. Good luck to you on your language journey!
