the worst period of language learning that they don’t tell you

is when you’re good enough to read an easy book, slowly, or watch a movie as long as its not too complicated but definitely with subtitles on, or even listen to a podcast at 0.75x speed.

I normally basically live life on 2x speed mode in English so this is so painful to me😭 Anyone else used to skimreading and listening to podcasts on 2x or 1.5x speed being forced to listen and read SO slowly? lol i just wanna process faster! i think i’m just too impatient.
