Language learning is hard and will always be hard.

Deep down, we already know it. That's why we're so surprised when someone we've known for years suddenly starts speaking in a foreign language. This rarely happens.

Here's why.

To reach the fluency level (B2 in CEFR terms), a person must:

• Study and practice for between 1,000 and 3,000 hours
• Learn between 6,000 and 8,000 words

Thousands of hours of practice and thousands of words are no joke. It takes years to accomplish – that's why so many people give up, and that's why there are so few people fluent in three or more languages.

Those who understand the enormous scope of language learning don't rely on apps and courses – they incorporate a foreign language into their lives. They use every opportunity to practice the language:

• They Google in a foreign language
• They talk to AI in a foreign language
• They read books
• Consume news
• Watch YouTube
• Listen to podcasts
• They think in a foreign language
• They jump on every opportunity to use the foreign language in their lives

They start doing that as soon as they reach a stable A2 level. It's hard, but they persevere and eventually become fluent. Pursuing fluency in a foreign language tangibly improves their lives. They become better articulated. They find better jobs, better friends, and better spouses. They move to better countries.

Vocably is designed for such people. For those who know that language learning is no joke.
