“”Tried to learn Farsi once on the Mondly app. Threw up my hands and quit.””
Some people have a knack for it. I, sadly, do not. But in my case, it could just be a “mental block”. Have no idea why. I’ll settle for having a keen grasp of the English language, though (what other choice?).
I “know” Ancient Greek, Aramaic, Hebrew, Yiddish, and in spite of decades of trying, can’t quite grasp Arabic. But my English is good.
