Hey people, I’ve been a fan of japanese since I started watching anime in 2016 (classic), by the beggining of 2017 I’ve started this course and I’ve been LOVING learning this in here, even though some people say I’m learning the wrong way, since I’m more focused on learning the kanji’s and how they …

It’s really common to have periods where you feel unmotivated or generally negative about your learning since it takes so long to make any progress in a language (especially one like Japanese). And that’s okay. Do you do any additional studying for things like grammar or vocab? Both are essential to…

I started learning some grammar last year aswell (Tae Kim’s Guide), but it was very objective and was kinda hard for me to understand it, since my first language is portuguese, and has some different structures, like in japanese and even english. I had to read it at least 4 times each section to get…

I’ve read through a good chunk of Tae Kim’s guide as well, so I could understand it being somewhat challenging if English isn’t your native language. But without a good foundation in grammar, it’s going to be difficult to read anything in Japanese, and I think that could certainly be contributing to…

You have to PUSH through this feeling. It’s okay to step back a little if you have to (and it sounds like you may have), but I personally feel you just need to keep pushing and doing your daily Japanese routine. You will eventually get through this feeling and you will be extra glad you didn’t sto…

I think taking a break and coming back to learning Japanese can be refreshing.

That would be helpful i think, but the English isn’t the problem, but the objective way of teaching i think, but thanks ^^

[image] ExtremeWQ: Actually, Ive started learning japanese so that I could read novels and books, that was my goal at first, but I don’t see when i’ll get to do that in a near future :confused: [image] ExtremeWQ: and I never actually read anything in japanese, like a light novel or any ot…

[image] ExtremeWQ: since I love(d) it so much. It sounds you’re trying to push it. Enjoy life. Language learning (specially japanese) it’s time consuming as hell if you want to accomplish some serious understanding. So If you don’t see clear goals now, are having a nice time, then what’s t…

I sometimes need reminded that humans are seasonal. We have up times and down times for all aspects of our lives, and basically this just sounds like a “down” time for your japanese-iness. I think if you push yourself to do more than just a little bit each day, in your current state, you will burn…
