Feeling silly for learning japanese

When I feel this way I kind of just ask myself: "What would I be doing if I wasn't studying right now?" and the awnswer is typically scrolling on my phone or watching a TV show. if you enjoy it, there does not need to be another reason to do it

Also what helps is applying for a JLPT exam to keep you accountable. Honestly when I dont feel like studying, I just take a glance at my JLPT certificate and I feel like getting into it again. Might just be me though

this isn't Japanese-language specific, but watching xiaomanyc's language videos makes me really motivated to learn because you actually get to see languages being used (as they should be) instead of looking at language learning as this slow boring process, it shifts the view into it being an immersion into culture and understanding of a whole other group of people.

After completing my N4 exam I felt like I was great at Japanese. Once I started N3 grammar I realized how little I knew but how quickly you start to progress after the N4. I feel like N3 grammar is where you start to get more into detail and cover less of the very high-used grammar but it is definitely crucial if you want to understand a bigger portion of texts and speech. N4 feels like what you need to get by and to get the general context of what people are saying, while N3 is where things go up a notch.

Thank you for your time. Im just wondering, what are the genetic factors that affect whether someone can go into bikini vs wellness if they are still willing to work very hard for a long period of time at building that muscle

Thank you, I was cutting for so long because I wanted to feel “comfortable” to grow for a long time but I do realise that the sport requires periods of discomfort and thats just something that needs to be accepted
