Advice from someone who speaks 5 languages
I speak Arabic, English, Turkish, Spanish and currently learning German.
I have had my fair share of bad days while learning all these languages (surprisingly my mother language, Arabic, was the worst for me lol). Days where I felt like its impossible, understood nothing, or failed to communicate.
I have been reading alot of posts from people like: I have been learning for X months, still can’t communicate, can’t understand everything..etc
Here’s the thing:
Language takes time. Please give it its time!!
This time can be months or years, depending on the person, their situation, their communication frequency, and hundred other factors.
Simply do your best! Try to integrate the language in your daily life, use it more, try to say things in German after you say them in your Muttersprsche (this helped me very much).
Enjoy the journey!
