I've been learning spanish in college for a year and a half, probably am at a B1 level as of now. Obviously it's more difficult to try and pronounce words correctly then how I would in english, but I thought it would get easier now. My tongue and jaw literally get sore after speaking spanish a lot of time, like it hurts to speak properly which is so frustrating. And sometimes I still don't say things right so the jaw pain isn't even worth it. Tempted to give up and just speak more naturally but also don't want to sound too gringa. AHHHH
