Thank you everyone who answered. These replies really comfort me, feels good to know that other people here either already went through are currently going through the language learning process . I read everything, I'll reply what I think soon.

I've been learning a language for the past 2 years. I've been taking classes for 2 years. We've moved super slowly. I wanted to reach B1 level, but I can't even pass A2 exam. I don't think my teacher is any good. I was concerned by the pace of his teaching. But now I took a practice exam at an institute and failed. It's as if the last two years was for nothing. So much money spent. I need advice literally every piece of advice that helped any you guys master languages?

I'm scared

Before an exam I always have a habit to distract myself with something that seems more important. Usually it’s like an existential topic. But that’s all a trap. I know that. I’m not gonna fall into that trap anymore. I might also stop working out temporarily just to focus on school.

im losing my shit. I am not studying enough. I got a 2 on my midterm. I don't want to fail the year again. Im actually losing it. I know I strategized with a plan or whatever. But I am not able to work long enough. fuck fuck. I should get my shit together. I am lowkey panicking,

My mother started ranting about how the younger generation is incapable of feeling uncomfortable for a long period of time, and demand quick fixes to all their problems. She explained how this tendency to want to fix problems quickly can lead people to be emotionally reactive which intern leads to rash and wrong decision making. She gave an example of this in my life. I agree with her. She said that "its okay to be uncomfortable or have unresolved issues in life for an extended period of time" and that "problems take time to fix". I initially didn't take this seriously but upon reflection I agree with her. I think this is a powerful message.

I've been slacking on meditation the past week. Im slowly getting into it again.

Success in life is all about strategic sacrifice.

This mushroom trip kinda destabilized me. I am getting back, but I remember especially the first few days, I was just super fucked. I just kept wondering why I was a separate self, and everything seemed like a burden. I felt somewhat trapped. Now its better, but I still feel it.

I don't know why I am not enjoying life that much. I have everything I need to be happy I guess, except maybe a girl. I am not fulfilled, it's scary. I feel empty, unsatisfied sad.

maybe also journal about when you humble brag. I subconsciously do it a lot. Idk just ideas.

be around funny people. Absorb their sense of humor. Try making jokes. Fail 1000 times. And then you'll catch yourself spontaneously cracking a funny joke and it'll be worth it. By no means am I master funny, but I've improved my sense of humor significantly. All because I kept trying, make so many jokes that weren't funny and learned from people much better than me. Enjoy it too.
