I tried Maltese while I lived there just over a year. It was soooo difficult. Had to give it up haha
Some language are hard.

Can you give me an advice so I can learn a language easier?
What I do is watch documentaries on anything, series and movies in the language I want to learn. Put on subtitles as long as needed. Music too… to hear it more often even without noticing, your brain picks up words.
Further I immerse myself between the locals so I have to understand and speak it quicker.
In Spain I joined a walking group… art groups, tapas groups etc. in the beginning one struggles but bit by bit you will pick it up. If the locals speak their language to you.
I also write little notes 📝
Like going to a governmental appointment to do paperwork or to a shop to fix things or…. I translated first what I wanted to say or ask at home in several different ways. Then I write it down in the language I was learning and have it in my pocket. I practice it a few times and when I am there… I try speaking it without looking on the note I took. If needed I can take it out.
Sometimes it was enough to help me. Sometimes the conversations needed a translate app. Hahaha
It is basically trying to practice it as much as you can with other people.
I learned english the parrot fashioned way. Didn’t have lessons or grammar. I immersed myself in it fully.
Well, of course it is easier when you're on a place where they speak other language. I'm not that lucky. I've never been on other country where they speak other language.
Yes, I fully understand. I am lucky that I have lived in many countries so far and could immerse myself in the languages.
I hope you find a way…
Maybe search some expat groups in your area. Like Internations. When I lived in Spain and went to some meetings to meet new people when I arrived. There were also enough locals (spanish speaking people) that joined in with the expats.
In some cities they also organise language exchanges.
I don't think something like that is done here haha. I will check it out tho.
A shame, but maybe you find something.
Or set it up yourself… 😉
