How does people who actually gets better at english while live in non English speaking countries spend a day?
I have been studying English for almost 5 years and still not safe to say I’m proud of my progress i made so far. I ‘ve been really trying to put myself in a situation where I can only consume contents in english, but tbh I don’t think I did as much as I should have and now that i regret that I couldn’t be bothered to make myself put all into it, thinking I would have been so much better at it if i had done it more efficiently. So I was wondering how long does people who study language so seriously spend a day with the target language. it can be not your experience but someone you’ve heard of or anything, I’d like to do the same

The context is some people are building a spaghetti tower. I heard they saying “we haven’t cranked 90 degrees yet.” Does “crank” make sense here? Perhaps it misheard it. Thanks.
