Many students find SACE Australian Languages challenging at first because you’re often learning a language with different sounds and structures. Consistent practice makes it easier over time. If you keep up daily study, use varied materials (audio, text, speaking partners) and focus on weak areas, you can overcome the difficulty and grow confidence quickly.

You can definitely self‑study if you’re disciplined and know where to find clear explanations and practice materials. However, a tutor can speed up your learning by correcting mistakes in real time, offering tailored feedback and keeping you motivated. Tutors also introduce speaking practice and cultural notes that self-study can miss.
