One encouraging practice is to look back by reflecting on language learning progress.
Here is an encouraging list of some things I couldn't manage in French 5-6 months ago which I feel fairly comfortable doing now:
1. Talking on the phone
2. Welcoming people into our home
3. Emailing
4. Shopping at the open-air market
5. Following recipes
6. Reading the Bible (version in current French)
7. Asking for help in public places like stores or businesses
8. Understanding most of our local church services
What are some of your encouraging signs of progress?
Being able to chat longer than a few minutes with someone, and being able to read early reading kids books!
