To master a language one has to "live it"!!
To master a language, one has to breathe it, walk it, see it, eat it, and yes, dream in it!

Languages are part of our lives. A native speaker of any language is someone whose body and soul were born in that language.
Work alone is not life, or living.
Your reflection is very humble and honest! Thanks for sharing!
