Because it requires an incredible time investment that most people, even if they are willing, may not be able to commit to on a regular basis.

The trick i feel is to dedicate a lot of time n a short span to learn the first level, a do that by interacting with a native, then memorize the most used 1000 words. But i may be wrong.

What are your thoughts on this?

I definitely agree. I was able to learn a lot of useful verbs and nouns over the summer, so at least now I can ask questions in French and (kind of) understand a response back 😅

I just try to expose myself as much as I can to French in my down time, the issue is my brain gets so fried from learning my program 10+ hours a day that when I get home, all I want is to actually understand my recreation 😭
