>>47729968>Kiara better find a way to use the language outside of lessons or this won't stick.It likely won't. The problem is that language is a "use it or lose it" skill, and while her current "training regimen" of a few hours of teaching per week is better than nothing, the progress will quickly wither away as soon as she's bored and slacking again. For learning a new language you want to ideally immerse yourself as much as possible and use it daily for reinforcement. And like physical fitness, small but often is better than big but rare, so for example practicing for 30 minutes every day is better than practicing a few hours but only once a week. And most importantly, you need to have an actual goal in mind, something you actually want to DO with the language, a reason that motivates you to stick with it through boring or rough patches.
The irony is that she already did all of that "right" unknowingly, back when she first learned japanese. Had almost daily conversations online, giving her ample opportunity to apply and reinforce what she learned, had a goal (wanting to be an idol etc) that motivated her, even went full immersion for a few years. But now? Whatever her current motivation is ("it would be nice to talk to my korean fans, I guess...?" or whatever) can be pretty flimsy, plus with her life being busier right now it's easy to drop it as soon as you get bored of the chore (see also, gym arc). I don't know what other immersion and application attempts she's making, but it's unlikely that she's actually talking korean / to koreans daily, or consuming much media in korean etc, so I guess very little reinforcement is happening and progress will be so slow that it's inevitable she becomes frustrated, thinks it's too hard or doesn't see the point anymore and drops it again.
