I'm trying to learn French for 3rd or 4th time in my life, and it's seems more seriously now (I have a class with a native teacher 1 hr/week, 30 minutes of practice energy day on apps)
It's not completely immersive, I know. I've been doing that since March, and as @abucci said recently, it takes many hours to have some level of confidence in that knowledge!
I remember a friend from the work, who studied German for 3 years, and when we were there he was unable to talk with a girl. Weird... And me, with my 2 months learning, only could say a few words to random people.
It's happening similar with vim
I'm practicing 30 minutes a day, and I hope in a few months I'll be able to barely edit a file with the confidence of VS Code/Sublime
as a friend told me: What makes sense tomorrow is not making sense while you are learning it. But you won't know it until you master it.
Weird feeling, but as a professor and as a permanent student, I think that's how it is. What do you think?
@eaplmx I think so too. You often have these "aha!" moments when learning. I think that process never stops--you can always learn more about a subject!
@eaplmx Beaucoup de succès mon ami ! I had French in school for four years and sucked at it.
@lyse You get bonus points for the space before the !. :D

@movq Merci beaucoup !
Something I don't get is having different quote symbols like Gänsefüßchen („ “), Guillemets (« »), why?, ancient language makers...
@movq Haha, thanks for the A+. :-D Yeah, to me it makes no sense to [plenk(en?)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plenken) with question and exclamantion marks, but hey.
@eaplmx Yeah, in French you use the double angled «» a bit like HTML tags. German prefers „“ and if you nest them, unless using the single ones, you reverse the angled ones »« compared to French. Or as I would call it, use the correct ones. :-) It's just how languages evolved.
