    Very demotivated, I learnt from myself and others’ experience that once you tell people in your surrounding that u are learning sth like a language, you’ll likely fail to keep doing it.

      Yeah, I feel this somewhat. When you tell people about what you’re attempting, they just immediately have high regards for you, and it can be demotivating living up to these sorts of unrealistic expectations. I have something coming up later this year and they could very well just have a “everyone stand up and talk about yourself” spiel. I study languages a lot in my free time, but I’m definitely not going to tell any of them that.

  • 2hrs Japanese, 1hr Spanish, 30 mins Irish.

    Graduated from N5 grammar lessons to N4 on MaruMori.
    Graduated from A2 section on Duolingo to B1.

    Still need a lot more education than what this is otherwise perceived as, need chock tons of exposure and exercises in the languages still. It feels like I’m a beginner in everything. I like studying, but even with the 2hrs in Japanese a day, it still feels like I’m hardly getting any traction. I have no idea why.
