Ah, the first big mistake: neglecting speaking. Totally get the fear of making mistakes, that's a huge hurdle for most learners. It makes sense that avoiding it early just pushes the harder stuff down the road, which is never ideal.
Yep, postponing speaking really does come back to bite you. It’s a classic pattern: reading, listening, writing, then finally speaking. I can see how that sequential approach, without integrating speaking from the start, would be a major roadblock.
