I started learning Italian on 2021 and I still have not gotten good at it. Time goes fast. Take action and stay consistent.

Are you communicating in Italian???

You want to be at least writing in Italian and listening to Italian on YouTube every day to help practice your new language.

I spend most of my day listening to Dutch and writing in Dutch so my reading and listening skills are miles ahead of my writing and speaking skills - where I just sing random song lyrics.

I'm thinking that I might get some tutoring at some point so I can work on those weaker skills with someone else.

If you're at university here, it might be worth you having a look to see if there are any clubs anywhere on campus where you can practice Italian or try to find another student you can practice with over a coffee.

Wait until you go practice with Italians and learn that words are not enough. 🤌🏼 😆

It's a complicated language due to being some sort of amalgamation / least common denominator of like 20+ regional language groups. It's absolutely normal/expected for it to take more time to fully master than e.g. English.

How are you learning it? Is it class based, on line, or are you learrning conversational Italian?

That's how I am with Portuguese.

Best to learn by conversing
