Using languages is probably the hardest skill that anyone can have.

You need to learn and memorize thousands of words (their spelling, pronunciation, usage), combine them properly to transmit a message, and be able to interpret speech.

After learning the basics of a language, then you start to learn more advanced things, such as, sounding more natural and understanding idiomatic expressions and figures of speech.

I started to learn English, because there was a shortage of quality content to learn coding in Portuguese.

If I wanted to learn Java, there was a single professional-level course on YouTube, some worth reading blogs, and outdated, boring, terrible books.

After getting to a level where I could read books and watch videos, there was a myriad of excellent content to my disposal.

[1] You should place a comma before "such as" only if you can remove the phrase that follows, because it's not necessary for the phrase.

If you need to add a comma before, then you need to add another comma at the end of the phrase, unless it's the last statement of the period, then you just use the period.

[2] In most cases there's no comma before "because".

It's only necessary to remove ambiguity in a negative main clause, in which case it's recommended to restructure the text, or if it implies explanation instead of causation.

Still, I need to further research, in order to really grasp it.

[n] numbers between brackets are notes for my later review.

Please, ignore them.
