I feel like Iโm at a point in language learning where no matter what I do Iโm not improving
Itโs like Iโm not fluent enough to read books or watch shows in the language but Iโm fluent enough where all of the beginner learning materials are too easy
I've been there, it sucks (still there in some aspects). But the only way out is through!
My first tip would be to pick something up. If a novel is too scary, go for some comics or a children's book. I'm a huge supporter of immersion learning and it tends to be a lifesaver for the intermediate plateau.
Then, pinpoint what specifically is giving you trouble. Are there too many unknown words? Are you understanding all the words in a sentence but not the sentence itself?
If you find that vocabulary is the issue, it's time to start cracking on those flash cards. Remember to keep reading and immersing while studying! I used to make my own flash cards from manga but got discouraged because I felt like I was putting words in and studying them, but never seeing them again outside of these flashcards. When I started reading my first novel, I was seeing so many of those words that I never thought I'd come across again and it improved my morale so much. If you don't want to make your own flash cards (I don't anymore), try searching for a premade deck for a specific book/series. I tend to study vocab from one book/series and then read other things outside that. Most of the time, words will come up in many different places and not be bound to a single book.
If you're finding that you understand most, if not all, of the words in a sentence but not the sentence itself, it's probably time to hit the grammar books. It can be easy to read a grammar explanation and have it go in one eye and out the other, even when you take notes on it. And review? Who wants to do that? Studyblr sin confession time: I very rarely review grammar points. I take notes on grammar and then wait for it to come up in my immersion. Sometimes I have to look back on my notes to refresh my brain, but most of the time, it'll come up enough in immersion to reinforce itself. Of course, this is different with more academic grammar points. There's also a difference i the way comics and novels are written and there are absolutely grammar points that you may come across often in novels, but almost never in a comics format. Basically what I'm trying to say here is to not get too lost in the study portion of grammar. Keep studying those grammar points, but it's integral to support it with proper immersion.
Don't be afraid of immersion. The beginning is lots of stopping to look things up and it might be best to start with just trying to get the overall meaning rather than looking up every little thing to understand the sentence perfectly (this is called extensive vs intensive immersion). Looking things up doesn't mean you've "failed" at your target language, it means there's something new to learn, and that should be considered a win!

never got into vaporwave probably, what projects should i listen to for an introduction??
I always love this question. Finding the best primers to the whole of the vaporwave landscape and introducing new people to them is one of the many things with this genre that I just find so fun. I'm going to try to be as succinct as I can, but I am going to shoutout a lot, specifically twelve, so go ahead and take your time with these.
Macintosh Plus โ Floral Shoppe (2011)
The biggest vaporwave album of all time. I will tell you now that this album is by no means perfect, it has quite a mixed reputation among fans & outsiders of the genre, but this is the album to single-handedly define the genre's core ethos in such a highly-concentrated way. If nothing else, this should give you a taste of what inspires and influences the genre most.
Chuck Person's Eccojams Vol. 1 (2010)
By all accounts, this is the very first vaporwave album and to this day, nothing sounds quite like it. A classic array of disorienting, hazy & psychedelic loops of old popular songs that still sound fresh and wholly enveloping.
็ซ ใท Corp. โ HIRAETH (2014)
This one here is to help people gain a better understanding of what your typical standard vaporwave album often sounds like. It's quite varied in a number of subtlly different styles & approaches to traditional vaporwave with some ambiance sprinkled in as well.
SAINT PEPSI โ Hit Vibes (2013)
Now we're getting into the individual subgenres of vaporwave and while there's a few traditional vaporwave tunes sprinkled in here for variety, this album birthed & defined the genre of future funk with some of the best dance bangers you'll find in the scene. Lots of classy tunes on here, it's an absolute jam.
Blank Banshee โ Blank Banshee 0 (2012)
Up to this point, every album I've shared has been intensely sample-based. This album still carries some samples, but it has original beats & synths to establish another subgenre known as vaportrap. It's a great beat tape with some classic tunes and I also recommend its sequel too, which is my favourite vapor album of all time.
ESPRIT ็ฉบๆณ โ virtua.zip (2014)
Carrying on from the last album, this one almost doesn't use samples at all and when it does, it's usually an extra sound or instrument at most. I'm putting this here to establish that even basic vaporwave can be crafted from original compositions and the results are short but great.
t e l e p a t h ใใฌใใทใผ่ฝๅ่ โ ็พๅฎใ่ถ ใใฆ (2014)
What makes vaporwave the way it is and not like any other genre adjacent to it is its intensely heavy focuses on atmosphere more than anything else. So naturally, you're going to see a lot of bridges to ambient music. This first example is the subgenre of slushwave, which crafts the same excellent vaporwave tunes, but additionally filters them through such a wash of effects that transform them into psychedelic & blissful dreamscapes.
์๋ฃํgroceries โ ์ํผ๋ง์ผYes! We're Open (2014)
The next subgenre in this vein is mallsoft, which answers the question of vaporwave being set in the tall & wide spaces of shopping centres by placing relaxing tunes in pools of reverb and letting them sprawl from the loudspeakers of the area's corners. This album is the first big one to establish that with a unique setting and gorgeous sample choices.
2814 โ ๆฐใใๆฅใฎ่ช็ (2015)
The last of these ambient subgenres is dreampunk, which is a lot like vaportrap in that it heavily relies on its own compositions with very few samples while still retaining the genre's focus on nostalgia, this time set in the melancholic & rainy nights of the urban city through what is at least the second biggest album in the entire genre.
death's dynamic shroud โ I'll Try Living Like This (2015)
I'm gonna end this list with a few of the genre's weirdest corners. Vaporwave is constantly wide open to new & unique ways of experimentation and this album stands as the best example of that. Wholly unique aesthetic choices, completely innovative sampling techniques and an overall opus of incredibly strange, surreal & psydchedelic soundscapes.
Infinity Frequencies โ Computer Death (2013)
After that, I'll close this list with two examples of an abstract subgenre known by two names. They're synonymous to the greater community & world of music, but I see them as two different approaches. They're both defined by the creation of intensely haunting, isolated & loops of mysterious soundbites extracted from the likes of television & radio. Signalwave is what I use to describe the more accessible & musical end of that sound and this start of a trilogy is the best example for it.
On the other hand, I will leave you with what I consider to be the most divisive vaporwave record of all time. This album defines what is more commonly known as broken transmission and it is much more obtuse, glitchy, dark & surreal to listen to depending on the album. You're going to listen to this and either love it, hate it or sit inbetween. People have taken it as a joke while others view it as a work of art. Approach this one at your own discretion.
That's it! Those are the first 12 vaporwave albums that I will almost always recommend every single one of you to check out first. The greater landscape of vaporwave doesn't start & end with these albums, but instead, they give you the best surface level primer to help dip your toes in to such an amazing genre of music.
