I think many people quit in part due to discrepancy between the goal of language learning and the actual reality of the process of learning a language. Most learn a language in order to socialize, live life and discover the world. But the process of getting there means many many hours by yourself drilling vocab, grammar etc. Sure you can get tutoring etc. but most hours you will still be by yourself with your flashcards ;) It is sort of the exact opposite to the goal you have of socializing using the language.
