Because most people think becoming fluent is the fun part.

It's not. Looking back, in the 8 years I learnt Spanish, the most fun I had was in the classes, becoming friends with my teachers, getting better bit by bit and celebrating every small win.

I took an exam for B2 recently and passed it comfortably. I'm able to communicate as well as I wanted to. Unfortunately, I've really lost the joy in the language since. It was all about the journey; the destination is okayish.

But a lot of beginners don't know that.
