Mastering a Language: When You've Tried It All
I am a 30-year-old guy who started learning English in his early 20s (Native Hungarian).
In the past 10 years, I have tried everything to improve my English: movies, books, immersion, living abroad, tutors, teaching English on Instagram, native friends, girlfriends, and everything that I can think of. I am currently at a C1 level. I think if I were to prepare, I could successfully take a C2 English exam. But the thing is, I am still making many mistakes, and it is stressful, exhausting. Sometimes, I just feel like giving up on learning English. I feel that I have put so much time into it and am not getting the result back. I think I have been in a plateau for years now.
I still want to improve, but at this point, it is just giving me too much stress.
So I have two questions:
Have you ever experienced something like this? How did you deal with it? How did you manage to find satisfaction in your current situation?
Do you know any other unconventional ways of learning a language that helped you improve a lot? Could there be something that I haven't considered yet?

Feedback
i think your English is amazing, don't be too hard on yourself. I'm guessing at this stage improvement will naturally come from complete inmersion in an English-speaking country or community.

Feedback
It seems to me that you're already very proficient, I only had very minor stylistic feedback to give. Personally, I'm very early in the process of learning a second language, so I'm not in a position to give out the best study advice. However, I will definitely say that English is a very challenging language. Be proud about how much you've already accomplished. Being C1/C2 means you've overcome most of the difficult topics, it's now just a matter of polishing up.
