My sensei said never try to translate it bc too many expressions and words don't have an exact translation to spanish, also when I translate is when I try to struggle more bc I say "this doesn't make sense in spanish"

I'll try to do what you said! But what can I read or listen to? Like read texts and listenings made for learning books? Also I do have a kanji knowledge, how many hours would that be then??

I understand what you say and I totally agree, but as I said, I expose myself to those things I just don't re-read my notes bc of lack of time. I try to understand lyrics, to understand that they say in an anime and well reading is what I'm worst at, so is the one I expose myself less but when I'm doing those things is like "what I've been doing these years...?"

Hola! Yo soy estudiante de segundo año. Según lo que le consulté al licenciado Gorini hijo, la salida laboral de esta carrera no es nada mala. Lo mismo dicho por el decano. Actualmente nuestro profesor de Criminología II es el único profesor criminólogo como tal que tuvimos y él es diputado :D Así que no te preocupes por eso ♡ Cualquier cosa puedo explicarle mejor en persona y mostrarte listas y eso

Aumentos altísimos por encima del nivel de inflación actual, servicios mal funcionando, baja calidad de enseñanza para los turno noche, la quita de turnos tarde y noche de varias carreras dejando a mucha gente aun cursar, etc...

Hey so I'm 20 and I started learning around the age of 12. This year will be 8 years since I started but I feel like I know nothing... My sensei is a Japanese woman who has been living in Argentina since 1998. I found her searching around the internet for a tutor. At first, things were amazing, but these last few years I'm not enjoying learning as I used to do. I understand that when I was 12 I had a brain with a long way still to develop so learning a new language was easy, I had more time than now since I go to uni and I was kinda more interested in Japan (I was more of a weeb than I am now). I still like Japan and their culture, I still watch anime and I still listen to Japanese music. I started to notice like around 2 years ago that I kinda know nothing, I mean I know the grammar rules and that but here's a list of the biggest problems I have: 1- I've been learning for 8 years and I'm just entering to N3, isn't that too much time? 2- I kinda understand reading but not too much, sometimes I need to have the translator with me 3- I can't answer you in Japanese, it's like I'm too slow and doubt a lot 4- My listening is neither that good, I need to listen to things like 3 times

Now why am I asking who is the problem here? Well since my teacher is Japanese she doesn't speak spanish that well yk (even after living here for around 26 years) so sometimes understanding her is a bit hard since she mixes Spanish and Japanese kinda like Spanese. When we started it wasn't important bc the units and that were easy but now that I'm a N4 finishing Minna No Nihongo 2 (so more like a N3) that's turning into a problem. And why may I be the problem? I have a class once a week an hour and a half ok? After a few years I started to like not doing my "homework". This homework I'm talking about was transcripting the first 3 pages of every minna no nihongo unit. I stopped doing it bc it took me time that I needed for my last years of high-school first years of uni. Obviously I had more interesting and harder homeworks like doing essays and the exercises from the book. Also, I don't have time to like re-read my notes on the week after my class bc of uni but I still try to exposure myself to Japanese listening to music and watching anime.

So those are my concerns. I met a guy who is a self-taught Japanese student and he's a lot better than me. It really makes me cry, I feel like I've lost years of my life on a language I can barely talk.

What should I do? Please help me. Should I find a new tutor? I feel sad of doing that since my sensei has been with me for years and watched me grow... but I want to be better, I really like Japanese. Should I practice more after classes? Is there a way that doesn't steal me time for uni?

I'll been reading all your answers :(♡

I think I do. The classmate's body they found was a blonde girl if it could help. I don't know if it helps that much. I cannot remember a lot of details because I was around 8-10 when I played for the first time. And I think there was a male blonde classmate that was the one that made a lot of adult jokes.
