You can learn languages and be lazy at the same time. I did learn Japanese because my English is too academic for daily conversation and having to explain what I meant a second time every time I spoke to the husband-then-boyfriend was too bothersome so I thought that just speaking Japanese would solve the problem. That being said it took efforts to be able to read it.
(and I've learnt English because I was too lazy to look for places where I could read manga in French in the era of scantrad ^^)

Unfortunately, that doesn't always work. Like for German.

I think I can see it.
I've taken 10 years worth of German lessons in school and yet I feel like I'm at zero.

Btw I've tried BeelingApp and I like that one. It's mostly good for reading but it's exactly what I needed. Thank you!
Lingodeer doesn't look bad either, I've tried a lesson in Chinese and it looks better than Duolingo's Chinese so that's a good thing.

I'm having similar language problems. I studied French all through school and I got pretty good but my best learning is to talk to someone in person and have regular conversations. Since school I haven't had that at all lol. I started to forget a lot of things even though I tried not to. I listen to French music, did some Duolingo, watch French films, and even so, when we went to Paris last year I was having a hard time. Just by the end of the week when I was starting to feel more confident again we came home :mcheh:
Now I'm studying Korean and it's so hard for me to really learn the stuff without conversations with others. I can repeat it on the app 1000 times but when it comes to thinking about how I would put a conversation together, I can't get past hello. I'm also starting to get a complex there because there's no human to check my pronunciation and I'm worried the robot voice isn't accurate enough.

Yeah, I like to read so after I feel like I have at least somewhat of a grasp on Japanese, I'll be using it
In the meantime, I'm pretty sure weebs know more than me lol

There's no way weebs can read Japanese.
On the other hand basic spoken Japanese is pretty easy.

If that can help, French is hard. Even French people can't French properly. And, despite being French, I can bet I wouldn't understand how young people talk nowadays.
The way French is spoken too is very fast as well with words mumbled together. It's hard.

When I don't have conversation partners I try to have conversations with myself in my head. It kinda works.

I wish I could learn multiple languages.
My brain is rotted that I can't remember anything.

I know bits and pieces of a few languages.
Not enough to go wherever they're from, though.

My username is French u8

I can't read Japanese, but I can tell the characters apart.
People often show me something and say it's Chinese and it's Japanese.
Then they'll say something is Japanese, but it's Korean.
I can also tell what's Vietnamese.
Can't read a thing they say, but I can identify what they are.

These least I'd like to learn is Spanish and German as I'm Mexican and German.
I know a little Spanish from my dad, but enough to hold a conversation.
I know a little German from movies and songs.
I wish I had asked my grandma to teach me German.

"I'll miss the winter
A world of fragile things
Look for me in the white forest
Hiding in a hollow tree (come find me)
I know you hear me,
I can taste it in your tears."
