Languages I tried to learn

What language(s) have you tried to learn, but gave up on? Why did you give up on that language or these languages?

Languages I tried to learn

I tried to learn many languages.
Usually, I give up after a short time.
It's not that I loose interest in the language itself but rather that I don't have the motivation and time to keep up with learning it.
I have a hard time keeping myself motivated and engaged for a long time.
I hope that someday I will let go of this habit bit but for the time being it seems like something that will keep following me.
For instance, I learned French in school.
Even though I learned French for about 5 hours a week, I didn't really pick anything up. Today, I can barely introduce myself.
Another language I tried to learn was Italian. This also didn't really work out for the reasons listed.
Korean was or currently is a language I am trying to learn. I wouldn't exactly say I gave up on that, however I notice how I slowly lose my motivation. The reason I started learning Korean was because I will move there next year and will study there for 6 months before moving back. One might think that this should be motivation enough to learn the language but somehow I notice that I am starting to care less and less about learning the language.

Feedback

Motivation to learn a language is hard. A little bit of fun work every day is better than forcing yourself to study and burning out. Good luck with Korean. Your English is great.
