When it feels like it isn’t working while learning a language

I knew that word, but it has faded.

I know that phrase, I know that it’s there in my head, but it won’t come out.

What was that? What was that?

It feels like it’s there, but it just won’t come out.

What do we do? What do we do?

Is there any other choice but to keep going?

There’s no way but forward.

There’s no other way but to move forward.

If you quit because it doesn’t work, you shouldn’t have started in the first place.

Am I talking only about language learning? Not really.
