Language Attitudes and Egocentricity: What you think about different languages and accents

The Fluent ShowFrustrated! 🔥 What To Do When You Just Can'tIn this episode, I am answering a listener question from Leandro.
I'm going through a really hard time on learning languages. I'm a Portuguese native speaker and I'm learning English and French. Most of time I'm really motivated learning English, because I love British 19th century literature and I fancy reading all the books in English. My level is not that bad, I guess.
But, most of time I'm so unmotivated to learn French and keep with my daily studies. Sometimes I get so frutrated I want to burn all my materials of study out.
