I will never be anything like as good as native, but I'm very much better than most foreigners here. It's making the effort that counts.  |
I totally agree with you. Perhaps you'll never know if you'd need it or not.
I have neither someone to talk to nor I want to move to a Spanish-speaking country in the near future, but I just love that language and this keeps me motivated.
