I told my partner I was fluent in French on our first date. Five years later, we're moving to Lyon for his job. I've spent £2,000 on intensive tutoring in the last three weeks. I'm currently at 'The cat is under the table' level. I am terrified.

@fesshole when learning a language:

There is no such thing as one sentence. All conversion is made up of multiple interconnected sentences. You get to choose the sentences you want to use because you own your half of the conversation. The more you talk using more sentences the more grammar and vocabulary you use. It does not matter how bad your grammar and vocabulary is, what matters is how much you show you want to speak with other people.
