I suck so hard on languages. Most of the success I have in schools comes from my ability to undertand the logic of the material (which is why I do better in mathematics, the sciences, and philosophy courses) but language courses are difficult in this sense. I can understand the logic of the grammar and general spelling rules but vocabulary is irrational. There's nothing inherent in the spelling that dictates the word's meaning, it's all memorization. And I fail fucking hard on that.
