The rollercoaster

So when you are learning another language, in the immersion sort of way, you go through a weird roller-coaster cycle.

1) At first. Overwhelmed.

2) Then you compare yourself to your other american friends that know very little and gain confidence.

3) Then you make friends in that country... oops, your spanish is like a 2 year old's in comparison to them.

4) The 3 week mark. You get some routine conversation down. The quickness of your responses make you feel fluent. Confidence again.

5) You become frustrated when you don't know every word.

6)Every other day you feel fluent and infantile. Will I everrrr get fluent?
