I know Lýdia personally and I can confirm she lives for languages and she’s great at it. For everyone who wants to learn a language by themselves, Lýdia is a jewel!

I’ve self-studied Japanese on and off for many years. I’ve tried many different strategies, and made visible progress. However, I am still not properly conversational it. (I’d say I’m “almost” there.) I also learned French in school for 5 years, and I was horrible at it. However, I know people who can have a language just roll off their tongue easily in a much less period of time. There definitely seems to be a genetic component to if the skill comes easily to you. Videos like this make me feel discouraged, because I’ve tried so many paths and I still struggle, yet they say if you do it right it’s easy.
If you work hard, you can get there eventually, yes, but quickly? I think that depends a lot on the individual circumstance. (I’d love to be proven wrong, though!)
