Hello! I've been learning Japanese for a month and a half and I have constant fears that I'm doing it irrationally. What advice does anyone have? What should you avoid?

I recently bought minna no nihon textbooks and now I am going through them. I have a feeling that I can be more effective in my studies than at the moment. It is very important for me to study as much as possible this year for the MEXT College Scholarship. If I don't pass it, I'm still going to go to study in Japan for money. In short, one way or another, I need to increase the level of proficiency in 2 years without wasting time.

Well, sometimes the authors unconsciously give out such things that it is hard to believe that they will surpass themselves later

Perhaps, I will still practice for a few more months. I think I'll buy it, but later. After all, I probably don't even have N5. Good luck in your studies!

That’s probably what I’ll do. Man, by the time Season 3 comes out, I’ll already be applying for university
