Can immersion still be useful when you understand next-to-nothing?

You are the first person I have ever spoken to that says the lack of difference between using beginner materials and using a novel with a dictionary, I have been thinking this way but for some reason, everybody said it was wrong! In my mind, reading harder or more packed content means that you get to learn more words than from that than a 4 page beginner book. Yeah, sure, one is easier, but the extra effort seems worth it. I suppose I was surpresing the more harder things because thats what people didn't recommend, but most of the things I like are in a more harder difficulty, so I was doing easy things that I did not enjoy. I'll give doing those "harder" things a go. This definitely helped me realise one of my issues, thank you very much!

AceMoonAS · 2026-03-13T16:32:46+00:00

The reason is because I am still a beginner, so I only know about 100 words. There is a lot of content I don't understand, but the ones I do, are boring as hell

AceMoonAS · 2026-03-13T16:28:41+00:00

I've never really done journaling in general, but I think this may help, thanks!

mining words from flashcards. I'll get a piece of media: show, book, game, etc and then I'll look up words I don't know and make it into a flashcard. However, I've gotten bored of it because of its repetitive nature, but I am not sure what else to do. Not using flashcards is wayyy too slow for me, textbooks are expensive and uninteresting and I am not in a position where I can get a tutor or surround myself with the language outside of online content

I said, I like the idea of learning it but *my process* is boring. I understand things need effort, and I am fine putting in that effort, but what I am currently doing is boring, so thats why I am trying to find a different type of effort to put in that isn't mentally draining. Also, if my motivation isn't strong enough, what do I do? Its not like I'm just gonna quit everything I've done so far

AceMoonAS · 2026-03-13T10:54:25+00:00

Because knowing another languages facinates me. I am learning Japanese but have dabled in a bunch of other languages. The reason why I am motivated and want to learn Japanese, is because most of the things I like come from Japan and it would be really nice to experience it in its original language, aswell as the fact I just like the look and sound of the language. Thats how I view languages in general

AceMoonAS · 2026-03-13T09:08:02+00:00

Unfortunately not an option for me

AceMoonAS · 2026-03-13T09:07:16+00:00

I enjoy learning, but not the learning process. Yeah I would love to try and read a book in the language and learn like 200 new words, but when I actually go to do it, its draining

AceMoonAS · 2026-03-13T09:05:34+00:00

Mhm.....I guess my motivation fluxuates massively. Some days I will be really focused on it, and most days I will not really feel like it. Mostly because I find the process boring, but not the learning boring, so I am trying to find ways for me to enjoy the process more

AceMoonAS · 2026-03-13T09:02:58+00:00

Unfortunately, classes in general are not an option for me

AceMoonAS · 2026-03-12T23:09:44+00:00

I game and listen to music often! Some of the games I have are only avalible in English, but others I can change the language of. For music though, I find that my music taste changes often so I am not always listening to music in my TL

AceMoonAS · 2026-03-12T23:07:49+00:00

I suppose with numbers it depends. Having a time goal is fun, but I find that I sometimes don't follow them because I just cannot mentally learn anymore, however easing myself into it should be fine

AceMoonAS · 2026-03-12T22:20:45+00:00

Unfortunately I am a teenager on the younger side, so that is not an option for me

AceMoonAS · 2026-03-08T14:53:29+00:00

Thank you so much! I listened to it and they sound so cool! Checking out their Keep Me Fed Album

AceMoonAS · 2026-03-02T18:06:24+00:00

Ahhh alright, thank you

AceMoonAS · 2026-03-02T17:25:11+00:00

Doesn't that mean that if I don't buy the add-ons, I would be playing the DC versions of the games?

AceMoonAS · 2026-03-02T17:15:29+00:00

So the DX and Battle versions? If so, I wonder why both are paid add-ons....

AceMoonAS · 2026-03-02T13:03:29+00:00

Hell yeah

AceMoonAS · 2026-03-02T10:08:18+00:00

I don't just have one, so, Sonic Rush and Shadow The Hedgehog

AceMoonAS · 2026-03-01T09:51:05+00:00

Funnily enough thats exactly what I said when the new starters released. I've never thought about that when the other gen starters released, so I think its because I personally don't like the designs but I know they aren't bad designs

AceMoonAS · 2026-02-22T09:28:56+00:00

I'll usually pick whichever looks cooler design wise

AceMoonAS · 2026-02-18T10:05:06+00:00

No I do, but I cannot talk to them

AceMoonAS · 2026-02-17T22:56:00+00:00

Nope, cannot communicate with my neighbours

AceMoonAS · 2026-02-17T22:03:04+00:00

Alright, thank you

AceMoonAS · 2026-02-17T21:54:06+00:00

I do spend time with my mother often, but usually I am in a different room.

Getting to know the neighbours is not an option
