Learning languages makes me depressed. What should I do?
Okay, so I'm currently in my first year of college learning German (continuing it on from secondary/high school) and Spanish (completely from scratch, however everyone in my class is new to it too). I really want to learn languages and find them interesting. I really would love to be fluent at the end of the day, but every time I go to sit down and learn new vocabulary, I often find myself becoming incredibly depressed from learning it and I can't concentrate due to this. I don't really know what to do about it anymore. Any ideas?

you are focusing way too much on this desire to be able to speak fluently. the more you think about where you want to be at the end of the year, the more depressed you become by being reminded of how far from that you are right now. you need to simply focus on whats in front of you. make a series of very short term, intermediate goals. that way when you accomplish something small, like learning a list of new words, you will be able to associate it with accomplishing your big ambitious long-term goal instead of getting depressed about how that big goal seems so far away.
