WhatΒ can go on behind the process of learning your target language
Learning a foreign language is quite a difficult thing. Learning a language that you donβt hear regularly (outside of your class) is even more difficult, becauseΒ lack of exposure to your target language can lead to demotivation in many cases.
Let me tell you a bit about my experience with it.
Iβve started learning Japanese almost four years ago. I was pretty sure I knew how to handle it: where to start, how to organise everything in a clear and logical way for me to understand and retain what I was studying, when to take breaks (which are essential during the learning process, because they give your brain time to disseminate everything you acquired), how to create the perfect learning atmosphere.Β It was an on - off - back on experience, and still I had to battle againstΒ lack of motivation, lack of time, or tiredness for the majority of time. Iβve taken classes, Iβve gathered lots of learning materials (books, textbooks, sites, apps, flashcards, games, dictionaries, notebooks, notes and so on), Iβve invested myself into it with all I had...
And I still stopped at some point. I really believed that I wouldnβt give it another try, because it was simply too hard to balance daily life and a hobby which needed hours of training each passing day.
At some point Iβve realized that I want to go through with it, and even take the JLPT (and hopefully pass it with flying colours). I like Japanese. Iβve liked it for some twenty+ years, so why stop? Well, maybe you are already familiar with the Japanese saying δΈθ»’γ³ε «θ΅·γ (nanakorobi yaoki), which literally translates to βfall down seven times, stand up eightβ, because this is exactly it.Β Β Iβm back and I have decided to start from scratch.
Β I will keep track of my progress through this Tumblr page, where Iβm going to collect interesting and helpful information which will aid me in my learning.
Feel free to share everything Japanese-related and enjoy what you can find here.
