HELLO, It's okay to struggle we all struggle. You just have to find a way to enjoy learning the language and practice with people. That's what worked for me. good luck

Teachers are just guides to help you to succeed with your goal. You are still doing the hardwork, though to learn a language you need to use the language or you will have no chance to better up. 我在中国的时候我天天就学过一个字， 那过一年我就会说好多中文！天天学习天天上上！ or as i say: ''Little by little, you will get more and more''

They pay money to hire a tutor
