In my opinion translation softwares will work well for things like posting on social media, writing a text message or an e-mail, but it would be much harder to have a conversation using it. Like, imagine using a software everytime you have to talk to a client or to your partner! Plus, for me, learning a language is all about fun! It's an e enjoyable activity!

I've been practicing doing things in a smaller scale, but consistently. It have been helping me to be more disciplined and not to feel overwhelmed.
