Do you find it easy to learn new languages (human languages, spoken/written, like english spanish etc)? I am about to learn 4th till fluent level and wondering how long it will take. I find it easy to learn words and rules of making sentences from words, but I need practice and for practice I need to socialize, which is a problem. Do you have any suggestions how to make practice and avoid socializing? May be talk to myself only in my new language the whole day?

I'm on my eight's language and the sad realisation I had around the fourth is that I've seen people better communicating while speaking one and a half languages.

I guess I don't have any suggestions. Watch media in the language. At least you'll understand it better and maybe by parroting, somewhat improve the speaking. But without human feedback, it's hard to know if you're saying something wrong.
