Tense check

Hi,is the sentence and, especially, tenses used in it correct?

You have never learned German,so you are going to start from scratch. You will be making mistakes and won´t know how to deal with them. In a nutshell, you will be working your ass off but in the end you´ll hopefully learn to speak it very well.

I can´t help myself,but the progressive tenses I used in the sentence seem good to me. Or are both simple and progressive correct in this sentence? Thank you in advance.

Thank you, CalifJim! Can I use "you will make mistakes" as well? Thank you again! (especially for your patience)

You will make mistakes / You will be making mistakes

These are equally good in your sentence.
