Instagram brehs. Follow some artists. They always post short clips of them talking listen and write it down.
And are y'all speaking with natives? Typing is one thing but speaking puts the pressure on.
Btw have any of you found a Japanese VPN? I'm trying to catch a radio broadcast but it won't work for foreigners.
@Fatboi1 feel free to chime in about the VPNs.
Softether VPN is free and has Japanese IP addresses.
You gotta listen for thousands of hours actively to get better. At first Japanese sounded like a bunch of gibberish but after time you can piece together the words. Multi-phrase sentences become simple once you get better.

i am trying to learn igbo, who can help the triple OG
Reading Animal Farm in Japanese and let me tell you, a dictionary is one of the best learning assets to have.
The difficulty of the words and it being tied to you searching it up helps with retention. Of course, putting it in your anki or hand made flash cards is great to keep it floating in your head.
Way above my level but it keeps me interested.

I'm listening to an Audiobook from the library called UltraLearning and they author is heavy into immersion but also talks about taking 10% of your time to research the best ways to learn and charting a course instead of aimlessly taking language learning apps. Still early in the book, but he is dropping gems so far
One of my favourite books and he's 100% right. Duolingo ain't it

All of this has Japanese in my mind from the time I wake up to going to bed. Dreaming in Japanese sometimes and figuring out what was happening.
Out of it all, positive reinforcement and encouragement has been the biggest help. It's hard for me to see daily improvements at my intermediate level but they are there. That's where someone else speaking the language with you comes in.
Couldn't have made it this far without my teachers and friends. Still I've got a long way to go and look forward to it.

Best grammatical resource: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCoHuWcvOB6RG0qFsY9i5GgA The whole series.
I also recommend Let's Speak Series: Textbooks + Multimedia: Teaching + Learning Resources: National African Language Resource Center: Indiana University Bloomington Click down for Igbo. It's Central Igbo and a very good. If you buy the book, I can send you the audio. I also have a recommendation for a very affordable Igbo tutor.
I bu onye Igbo?

I'm looking to add French as a future language, but I've never been interested in the material for it. Just using it for potential job ambitions later on in life.
Going to be starting it today after devising a plan on tackling it the most efficient way possible.

Everytime I'm learning Kanji I think, how the hell am I supposed to remember all of this stuff? Then I remember a chart of Pokemon I used to have, something like this.
I know all of their types, weaknesses, how to pronounce the names, levels they evolve at, which starts best to EV train, etc. All of that is a lot more complex than 2000 kanji characters with two different sets of readings, the difference is I was dedicated to that lifestyle.
I would read guides, battle people, trade, write my own guides, team build and other theory-mon stuff. It's not that different from Japanese. Talk with people, read, translate, write blogs, complete immersion.
I know this has been said before, but complete immersion is key. It's just my turn to say it. Thanks to RTK I flipped open a Kanji learning book I own and recognized more than 75% of it. Putting the readings together with vocab is a step I'm not focusing on as it comes through all the stuff I read.
I need to clean up my method a bit because my speaking is taking a big hit. All of this learning through visual access and rote learning is killing me. I've got a lesson in two hours but I'm not taking enough to supplement that weak spot. Overall, there will always be something not up to par with the rest of your skills and it's best to keep attacking to make sure it doesn't lose when used.
Finishing Genki by Saturday. 2 chapters a day, one new, one review of previous. A few lessons, including one in 2 hours with my teacher.
Buckling down and focusing.
Where I would have been if I had this dedication before. No time to lament, just taking more and more until there's no more knowledge to take.
