Korossol into the Ring 29

I'd suggest to read a lot. Comic books and mangas are both interesting and easy to understand. Reading them would help you to learn a lot of words. A good vocabulary is necessary to learn a foreign language. As much as I hated it, keeping a dictionary close is a good idea. So are themed lessons like "everything abourt breakfast".
Working regularly on your learning is a must. I admit I didn't do it while I was in school, which is probably why it took me so long to learn English. Maybe not everyday, but every week, learn something new. New words. A new verb. (How I hated verbs. Regular verbs. Irregular verbs.) Again, while I hated it, learning verbs by rote seems to be an inevitable step.
I still think that understanding matters more. Once you understand the meaning of a text, then the words will make sense to you and you will recognize them in another context.
I'm not sure about writing but I have a pretty good visual memory. When I read, I remember. If you don't, writing words to burn their spelling in your mind is probably a good idea.
You ask me for the biggest mistakes a new learner can make when starting to learn a foreign language. I don't really know, to be honest. Be easily discouraged, maybe? Not working hard? Quitting when it's boring? I made each of those.
My most recent mistake, curiously, is the opposite. Working on this site, I wanted to be better. To work hard, to push myself, to participate, to help other people. But it was too much. I challenged myself to write 250 worlds in English every day except Sundays, forgetting that I already had other obligations. This month has been hellish. I couldn't do everything I wanted, I keep stressing, and I'm so tired... Morality: Don't overestimate yourself and know you limits!

I am not sure what you mean by ‘rote’

‘Everything’ does make sense, but ‘anything’ works better

Your English is very good! You also use words like ‘hellish’ that make you sound like a native speaker. There’s a few times where the word you’ve used is correct, but it’s sounds better to use another one :)

When I read, I remember.
