Spanish Class

 Learning languages is hard. For me at least the memorization and grammar aren't the hardest part though, its the slump that happens when you become an advanced learner. You understand all the easy stuff and its even boring but anything more advanced has words I've never even heard of and I can't make heads or tails of it. The main reason my Spanish isn't advancing, I think, is because I don't have much real world practice with speaking and conversation. I do Duolingo every day and have a streak of 1030 days. The assigned readings for Spanish are written above my skill level so I have to look up the meanings for basically every other word but we also have to write an essay about it without talking about historical context. I'm frustrated about the assignment because the instructions for it are very unclear and I can't find a rubric for it. I know I should go talk to the teacher if I'm confused but his answers don't really give me much. Also I hate talking to teachers about class especially at the college level. In high school I knew all my teachers and could talk to them more easily but in college its just some stranger. I'm probably overthinking this and I should just do it even if its bad. Also here's proof of my streak.
