Best and worst parts of learning a language

Hey everyone. This is my first time posting in this sub, but I’ve been lurking for a few months. I’m still a beginner and just have a few questions and an idea to discuss.<br><br>I’ve been learning Indonesian for a while now, and I have to say, I like it a lot. It’s my first time learning a non-European language (I’m from the US), and it’s been an interesting experience so far.<br><br>I think I’m still in the early stages of the learning process, but I know that once I get into the intermediate stage, it will get much harder. So I was wondering if its worth it to keep practicing at this point? Once you learn a language, how often do you use it? I’ve met way less people who speak Indonesian than people who speak other languages like Spanish, French, Arabic, and Mandarin. I usually only use it to communicate with my friend’s family and my tutor.<br><br>I’d love to hear about your experiences learning and using a language and what you think the best and worst parts of it are.<br><br>Thanks for reading.<br><br>Edit: I’m not necessarily asking if my language choice is the best for my situation or how useful it will be later in life. What I’m trying to ask is how you use a language once you learn it, what are the best parts of the process, and what are the least enjoyable parts of it.
