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’

‘Curiously’ doesn’t really work in this context, but I do understand

‘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.
