One of the most frustrating things about learning languages is that it takes like *forever* until you can talk about anything remotely interesting. Maybe not if you are really talented or have to talk the language all the time, but well -- *sigh* -- I just spent a ridiculous amount of time on writing an inane text about my apartment, about 120 words, in Spanish. I mean, it's no wonder I get so little practice talking: while I know several people whose native language is Spanish, there is simply no way I could have a remotely interesting conversation in that language (whereas almost all of them are fluent in German). With the little time I spend on learning Spanish each week, that is not likely to change for at least some years. I mean, I've been learning for almost a year now already, and only got to the point of writing boring texts about where my wardrobe is.
