Has anyone reached native level accuracy ?
I have been studying English for a very long time. I think I studied more than five thousand hours dedicated , thousand prive lessons , almost thousand class lesson in the UK ,a alot more self studying every resource on the internet claim that a thousand hours dedicated studying should have enough for C2 level but I feel I am far beyond C2. I don't know even it is archievable anymore , I am not sure if I can maintain my motivation a few thousand hours more before starting this journey I thought two years will enough but now I feel even a decade may not enough, my speaking pace almost as same as my native language and also my listening skilll good however I continuously do gramatical mistakes either on paper or while I speak I would like to hear , If anyone solved their language problem how many years did it take ? What did you throughout journey ?

what does "I could do a lot worse. I have done a lot worse." mean?
"Yeah, I suppose **I could do a lot worse. I have done a lot worse.** And now I need to think of something to wear to work Friday that will carry over to a casual post-work date." This is from the novel I'm reading and I don't understand exactly the meaning of these sentences even though I'd looked up the dictionary. Tell me if you need more context.

what does "stand by" mean in this context?
Despite the situation in Germany, France and Great Britain **stood by their demands**. If the Germans didn't sign the peace treaty, their armies were ready to fight, and so the war threatened to begin again. The context is, after WWI, Germany surrended but hasn't signed the peace treaty yet. I have feeling that it means France and UK insists their demands of ending the war and they won't compromise. But I'm not sure, because dictionary says it's more like France and UK stand and do nothing to prevent the riot from getting worse. Which is proper? Thank you in advance. https://preview.redd.it/2ej7dfx7ypbe1.png?width=1630&format=png&auto=webp&s=f6fde3f7b884c1f0f6c404ed638f5e866747b091 If you're interested, more information is below. Hunger was also a means of exerting pressure during the negotiations in Paris. As the Germans didn't sign the peace treaty, no cargo ships were allowed into German ports. Because of this, people in Germany didn't have enough to eat. The hardest hit were the children. They had to beg for bread and soup. Rations were handed out to the poorest, but most Germans starved. For people in Germany, things were going from bad to worse. Workers and soldiers started to protest. There was rioting and fighting in the streets. People were being killed again. The German government was afraid and begged the British to end their naval blockade. They said there was no reason to fear the German army. The real danger was that there would be a revolution like in Russia. Despite the situation in Germany, France and Great Britain **stood by their demands**. If the Germans didn't sign the peace treaty, their armies were ready to fight, and so the war threatened to begin again.
