I've just realized that learning French is harder than it looks

Okay...I will admit it, I'm not naturally smart, I'm not! I really have to work hard at every thing I do and trying to learn French again has made me see why I gave up on it the first time around. It's a lot of work for me. Luckily, my papa and sister are trying to learn it as well - but with my sister's busy young life and my papa always working I end up being the only one who has enough time to practice. I really want to do it though, honestly. I know that once I learn one language I will be able to learn others as well (with so much ease). I have a list of things I want to do before I'm 35 and some of them are:

1. Learn to speak French (fluently)
2. Go to India
3. Get my aviation license
4. Be able to say "I am an actress" when someone asks me what I do for a living
5. Work for Disney

*sigh* I know I can make all of those happen I just wish it all came easier, you know? I guess life isn't easy (but we all know that). Oh well... I am off to do some more learning!
