Just doing my reviews. They are always a lot. And learned a few new grammar points like 〜でしょう which is a sentence ender that says something like "right?????" or "probably".
My last motivation high is tanking, so I hope my habit building worked well enough that I can keep the paste!
Are you using anki or somethings else for your reviews? And those kind of things are sooo useful to be able to actually use the language, keep it up!!
Sending you my motivational energy to support yours ༼ つ ◕_◕ ༽つ Hope you can push through! Motivation is temporary, your habits will carry you through!
I am using two services with SRS features:
Wanikani is especially good, because it offers an API. I have a browser extension that marks every kanji red or blue depending on if I theoretically know it. It also shows my notes, the readings, the meanings, and mnemonic for the kanji if I hover over them. Bunpro can work with this API too, so it's all well integrated.
The resources that exist for 日本語 learners are pretty amazing!
Thanks for sharing! Honestly this would deserve its own post - hope people learning see this!
I also extensively use browser tools on my learning path and try to read stuff online since I can translate and instantly take notes. Pretty neat that you have an extension to do all that and that there's an API you can use. I use my Joplin notes but might have to consider something similar...
And yeah resources are plenty it seems and that's good. German also has plenty of online resources so I'm happy, but sadly many other languages don't have much yet :(
What are a few of the resources you've found most helpful for German? I'd like to dabble in it some day, even though I've currently got my hands full with Japanese.
One of the online resources that really helped me in the beginning was from deutsche welle: https://learngerman.dw.com/en/learn-german/s-9528
Another one was "coffee break german" podcast on spotify. Slow, easy and enjoyable podcast that helped me get used to speech!
dict.cc has been awesome online dictionary between english and german, and https://www.duden.de/ for e.g. figuring out the article of a noun.
