Basically the title. I’m half Italian and have grown up hearing Italian from my relatives. I can understand quite well when people speak to me or when I read things but when it comes to speaking, I speak enough to get a basic message across (and even then with some mistakes 🫠) but not enough to have an in-depth conversation. I tried learning some Italian a few years ago but I was never fluent, no matter what it never stuck with me. I’ve lost the motivation to learn it. Honestly this is so weird to me because I love learning languages (I’m actually fluent in French and I’ve been learning Spanish and Portuguese to an intermediate level, hoping to also pick up another language soon!)
Part of me feels guilty for not wanting to stick with Italian because it’s part of my heritage and I can understand what people are saying to me. But I don’t really talk that much to my Italian relatives these days and I don’t really have any desire to live in Italy (already lived there for 2 years and didn’t really like it that much, found it extremely hard to adapt). Is there anyone else who feels like this?
