Unable to learn a language or not learning the right language?

Learning a language is hard. The syllables claw at your tongue, and new words like to play hide and seek in your mind. When I first began learning languages, it began not out of desire but because it was a high school requirement. Although I wanted to learn French and get an A in my class, there always seemed to be obstacles. The words were too hard to remember, French people spoke too fast, the sentence structure was confusing, and learning feminine and masculine objects was too much. There was always some wall that was preventing me from reaching my goal. I felt stupid. My classmates were getting it, so why wasn't I? I should have learned French in four years, yet even today, I am at a low intermediate level. After I decided I wanted to learn Korean, I realized that I wasn't stupid, and all those walls I thought were stopping me from learning were obstacles I had built myself. I wasn't passionate about learning French. My first reason for learning French was because I had to...it was a school requirement. The reasons were to get an A and lastly to learn French. Learning the language was a collateral benefit rather than the reason I was taking French. The problem was my priorities weren't right. With Korean, however, I'm learning because I love the language. I love the way it sounds and feels in my mouth when I speak! Additionally, I enjoy learning the culture behind the language. While I still have setbacks, such as remembering vocabulary words or having to brush up on grammar rules, I'm actually learning the language, and I'm confident that one day I can become fluent.
