@Silver, I understand that, yes. From experience, speaking and writing a language come from vastly different fundamentals. It's often better to pick one path first. If you wish to speak, interact with a native speaker. If you wish to learn to write, then first learn to read.
leaning to speak the language to me would be easier. The few broke sentences that I've learned to speak were self taught and to learning to speak native language it's harder to learn by yourself then when you have someone who's teaching you the proper way to pronounce the words.

I learned Castilian Spanish, and it's quite an adjustment to decipher a Latin American Spanish speaker. Similarly, I can only understand Quebecan French after some adjustment period.

A friend and I met a couple from Canada in Paris and we had lunch, my friend commented to me: "They understand everything we say but I barely understand them, this is crazy."

fun fact: linguists don't actually use the term dialect, and instead use the word variety, for two reasons. one, it has negative connotations to some people. two, it suggests that there are hard lines between languages, and dialects are strictly within those boundaries, which isn't the case.

I once attempted to speak Latin American Spanish with a lost tourist from Argentina for nearly 15 minutes before I learned she spoke English very well.))

    Breaking news: historians believe that they've uncovered a cache of pencils that once belonged to William Shakespeare. A spokesperson said, "They're so badly chewed on the ends, we can't tell if they're 2B or not 2B."

    "Napoleon attacked by rabbits" so I had to go google search it. "The story of Napoleon being "defeated" by rabbits during a hunt in 1807 is a humorous anecdote, but it's not a confirmed historical fact, though it is mentioned in General Thiébault's memoirs. "
