Hello everyone! Here I am on day 211, and I feel like things are going well. I've continued to review the vocabulary words I've learned so far, but I have not been learning any new words via an app. I have still learned new words the natural way here and there.
Getting off the insane vocabulary word accumulation treadmill has been so good for me. I've instead used my time building my core skills and grammar. Even though I was working on all those things before, I'm now able to spend more time on making sentences and understanding than I had been able to before. I feel a lot less stress about learning and it has become enjoyable again. I will definitely learn more words again at some point, but I can see now how I just need to go with the flow a little more and do what feels right each step of the way instead of trying to fit my studying and progress into some kind of pre-made mold.
I've been using my Genki I book and Rosetta Stone mostly these past few weeks in addition to reviewing vocabulary words/example sentences in Anki and using JapanesePod101. I've felt myself reach a higher level of understanding than where I'd been previously and it's exciting! I've been working especially hard on increasing my usage and understanding of a wider scope of verb conjugations and using more particles correctly.
Can't wait to see where I'm at on my next update! Thanks for reading!
さようなら。
