I get so confused with the language. I can find the words I want on l'oversteir but sometimes there are two or more options and I never know which one is correct for my particular usage. I also have a difficult time with grammar (hell I have a difficult time with English grammar LOL) and I don't know how to put the words together in a sentence.

You're not stupid. Different people are good at different things, and not being good at languages doesn't mean you're stupid.

You might want to try the language lessons I have up at https://talossan.net/ to see if they help you get a start. They're designed for beginners with little or no foreign language experience.

What about people that only know like three languages in total and those being very basic? Totally not talking about myself.

If you already know several languages, then a lot of the concepts that are introduced will be very easy for you... I bet you'll fly through the lessons!

I've gotten several people asking me when the next lessons will go up, and they're still in progress. When I feel moved to tackle them again, I will get back to work and make some more.

I remember trying it for the first time back when it came out and I found it rather difficult, I went to L'Översteir, translated the verb and had genuinely no idea which translation was fitting for the context of the sentence. I personally find it would be easier for me to learn the language if there were ways of me being able to incorporate it into my daily life, for example set my phone's language to Talossan or just watching my favourite content in Talossan but we can't have everything we want.

If you tell me which sentence, maybe I can fine-tune it. I'm a teacher, but part and parcel with that is that every lesson needs adjustment as you get feedback from students.

Yes I struggled at the beginning. Though to be honest that one is on me, I picked the first translation I saw.

And no, nothing was easy. I don't even know a Romance language and I'm aware that Talossan is supposed to be a somewhat Romance language.
For context I speak Polish, German and English, two very different language families. I'm already struggling with Latin at school (I absolutely hate it).
