As I was reading a site the other day I came across this article... They say what is not so obvious to most people who decide to learn a new language,  so I suggest that you give it a quick read.  Maybe you are making this mistake too: “Rigid Thinking” ( that can be understood as not being open to new ways of thinking... each language has its different way of seeing things, phonetics and  structuring its sentences...) 
Linguists have found that students with a low tolerance of ambiguity tend to struggle with language learning. 
Language learning involves a lot of uncertainty – students will encounter new vocabulary daily, and for each grammar rule there will be a dialectic exception or irregular verb. Until native-like fluency is achieved, there will always be some level of ambiguity. 

The type of learner who sees a new word and reaches for the dictionary instead of guessing the meaning from the context may feel stressed and disoriented in an immersion class. Ultimately, they might quit their language studies out of sheer frustration. It’s a difficult mindset to break, but small exercises can help. Find a song or text in the target language and practice figuring out the gist, even if a few words are unknown.
And then I add:  be patient with yourrself !!!   How many things you really learned in a rush?? Not many... I would say... So , this dedication and effort you  put to this new language will come as a reward and will give you at least the independence for  communicating with people from a different culture!! That is the dream we are talking about!!! the dream of speaking another language!!
