When you immerse yourself in the language every day, you don't need exams or tests, you know that you are improving. You know how many new words you're understanding today that you didn't understand last week.

The best way to know that people will understand you speaking a foreign language? Acquire it. When you have acquired the grammar and vocab you're using you know people will understand you, because you're not just using some abstract concepts that you saw in a book.

Babies aren't better than you at learning a language. They just have no way to escape having great Comprehensible Input. If you set up your environment the same way you can learn even faster than them.

How do we learn to swim? Children: Practice. Adults: Practice. How do we learn about history? Children: Read. Adults: Read. How do we learn a language? Children: Listen. Adults: Mmm, study grammar? What???

The book "Thinking, Fast and Slow" amzn.to/3cWzG3B so clearly shows the difference between the "slow thinking" we use when studying a language consciously, and the "fast thinking" that we need to be able to speak a language.

Ever used video games to learn a language? ⠀ ⠀ Jared Gimbel has focused on many minority, indigenous and endangered languages. He studied Greenlandic & went to Greenland to make sure his game was as authentic. An amazing language learner! youtu.be/nm6XdyPV-rw

Native speakers will almost never correct your speaking if your errors didn't impede communication. So get the input you need and don't rely on corrections!
