Learning a new language is exciting, terrifying, and sometimes just confusing. Here's a few of the stages you've probably been through when trying to learn a new language.

1. Nerd Mode:

You get super excited and want to learn everything all at once. You do more than one lesson a day on your language app and feel like you've got this!

2. Wait...what?

That's when you start seeing weird symbols and have no clue what they are, God forbid you try learning a new alphabet, and how do all those consonants sound altogether? What is this?!

3. Lazy procrastinator:

You open up your app because it's been harassing you with daily reminders...and you promptly close it because ain't nobody got time for that!

4. You can either read or write, or speak it well:

Don't ask me how to pronounce any of these words but I can tell you what they mean!

5. Brain overload:

It's that awkward moment when you can't remember a word in your own language but can say it in another.

6. Uselessness:

No, it's fine don't teach me how to ask for directions before telling me all about how to tell people I bought my cow a new hat...

7. False Security:

your app tells you you're 50% fluent, you think you've got this - and then you meet someone who speaks the language or decide to watch a movie in that language and start looking for subtitles.

8. New favorite words:

you start to learn words that don't exist in your language or prefer words in other languages to your own.
