I underestimate myself SO MUCH, like when I’m watching a movie in english without captions, or watching an awarding ceremony live and people aroune me are all like “lol do you understand this?” and I’m like “yeah, it’s easy, it’s only english!”
But then it clicks
English courses cost around $350 per month (good ones)
Private teacher will charge like R$80 for ONE HOUR of conversation
not everyone has the money (I never did)
or the energy (thanks God for giving me this one at least)
but learning english by myself was something so easy for me that when people compliment me I’m all like “psh, it wasn’t that hard!” but I AM BILINGUAL.
I mean, my english is not perfect, but I can read 400 pages, write small texts, listen to natives and understand them, I can actually speak.
And I’ve done this BY MYSELF, so yes, this is a big thing.
It’s an entire new language, I should value myself more.
