Tobira lessons 1 to 5.
An NHK article IĀ“m too lazy to find about gear-shaped valentineās day chocolate.
Okay I havenāt read today yet, but I keep postponing the update and itās getting much harder to track so might as well 
.
So, Iām alive!! ;-; What a chaotic week. I havenāt actually been too busy, but Iāve been taking care of something these days that moved my usual reading times to the regular āeh Iāll read laterā. And that meant, of course, that I read last moment before going to bed, as the great procrastinator in me will forever try to do. My reading amount and quality have taken a big hit, but I still forced myself to keep reading even if just a little bit.
So I mostly resumed Tobira. I havenāt worked on it for a long time and I know at this rate I probably would never have anyways. I just canāt bring myself to do the exercises; I know theyāre really beneficial, but following a script bores me a lot. BUT, I have decided that I still want to go through all the texts because they introduce a lot of grammar, and I want to check that I know all the grammar in Tobira, which is apparently around N3-N2, so it should cover a fair bit.
Now, I didnāt rush the lessons or anything. I actually had already done lessons 1 to 4, but it had been such a long time that I wanted to go through them anyways, see if I comprehend everything. And to my surprise, my comprehension level must have risen, because I had the impression I now got everything from the texts as opposed to back then, when I still comprehended the vast majority of it, but was still just a tiny bit of work. That was nice to discover, Iām apparently doing something that is working over time. Since Iām only reading though, and also listening afterwards, it will probably still take very little time to go through one lesson, so I wouldnāt be surprised if I finish it very quickly.
I hope I can resume a proper schedule again very soon, if not today, and to keep posting like I used to ;-; . I think I will most likely keep going after the challenge is done, though, I donāt feel particularly exhausted because honestly I had a chance to chill a lot these days, so Iām back with energy again.
