If you're perusing this subreddit to try and discover a secret hack, get off it!! There is no magical ingredient!!

There's no secret formula to language learning. Children themselves take 2 to 4 years before they can form proper, comprehensible sentences in their native language. You cannot become fluent without a mix of immersion, memorisation, (some light) grammar and knowledge of everyday phrases at the beginning. To all of those who say just ignore grammar it will come to you! Sure, but if you have access to a tutor who corrects your mistakes, you are learning grammar. Just not directly. Children also learn grammar through being corrected while growing up!! They just don't have any shame when formulating a sentence, so they're constantly producing incorrect sentences, thus constantly being corrected and constantly learning!!!!. They even have dedicated classes for it in their native language! What do you think the purpose of essays are!!

More importantly, get off this subreddit if you're expecting some kind of secret formula. There is no secret video or trick. Having the mindset of "Just one more video/post bro, then I'll unlock the secret to language learning" is not going to work. THERE IS NO SECRET IT REQUIRES DISCIPLINE.

If you're spending hours on reddit going through this subreddit trying to unlock a secret, you're WASTING YOUR TIME. If you want to just spend it on here for fun, that's fine. I'm guilty of it myself, I've spent hours on here that could have been better used for immersion, anki, vocab study, grammar, creating flashcards, grammar clozed anki flashcards, you name it. Yet I return to this subreddit trying to search for something that I know does not exist, because it'd be neat if there was a shortcut. But there isn't.

For this reason I'm an likely going to nuke my account. I have spent too much time on this subreddit, on this website wasting my time and ruining my mental health with the constant doomscrolling. Goodbye and I wish you the best in your language learning :)
