I'm currently trying to finish some German courses on a platform called deutsch.info. As interesting as the courses are I think I haven't learnt a thing because I did not take the time to repeat the words I came across. It is frustrating to realize your memory isn't what it used to be and you lack motivation to learn anything new. I remember learning English: I learned it by heart with dedication and the will to do something with my life. Now it seems my personality has changed and although I am interested in learning a new language I am not willing to put in the work. I just need some sort of device that will ensure I learn the language fast and well. Perhaps this sort of device will be available in the future. Until then I just torment myself for lacking motivation and for being good only at one foreign language which is true for most people in the world. Mediocrity never hurt so bad. You want to learn a new language? Just get yourself a tutor or live in the respective country for some time. These intensive online courses are not suitable for learning in depth. At least that's what I think.
