For me it's been challenging. Way harder than I hoped. Yet, it's kinda fun now that I can listen to some songs and understand a bit of what they are singing.

A question for those who learn a foreign language: how often do you doubt the correctness of your words and start translating what you say?
Personally, I face this quite often, but I try to wean myself off it. Recently, I've been getting more and more used to formulating my thoughts in a foreign language during everyday activities, and it helps me a lot to repeat both new words and rules!
