What's the hardest part of learning a language for you personally?

A natural way to answer

Honestly, the hardest part is keeping momentum. I start enthusiastically, but after a few weeks life gets busy and my motivation tends to fade. Consistency is my real weakness.

Key phrases to use

• trip someone up — to cause someone to make a mistake or get confused“Fast speech always trips me up.”
• tread water — to stay at the same level without making any real progress“I felt like I was just treading water for months.”
• run words together — to blur sounds and words so they merge when speaking quickly“Native speakers run their words together, which is hard to follow.”
