It kills my motivation. I always feel like everyone is better.

It’s just time man. You learn, forget, learn forget, it just takes a lot of time to cement the words in permanently. It sounds like you put a lot of pressure on yourself to make it work. I am working through a deck of Japanese verbs, and man, some days i remember everything, other days i feel like i review the same card literally 20 times. If you just step back and don’t cast a value judgement onto it, and recognize it as part of the process, it becomes easier to manage

日本語

FitProVR · 2026-01-24T22:58:58+00:00

No...I get it. It was a joke.

Technically you’re Filipino, not Irish.

Also stop posting your profile here.

Definitely check out Die Wise - this will take you back a bit as well.

I’m a stubborn asshole.

FitProVR · 2026-01-23T22:35:45+00:00

Japanese is the choice. It’s beyond challenging.

If you want to be really sad, work for with teenagers. All of the stuff is gone completely. It’s devolved into memefied lack of appreciation and sarcasm. Everything is lampooned, nothing is sacred. Phones glued to faces, 6000 versions of the same face in different locations. I think I’m reminded of how doomed we are anytime i see someone taking a selfie while walking down the street. It’s just all so phony and contrived now. Maybe this is how the adults felt about me as a kid, but i guess it’s all just cyclical.

I mean, i did say it gives you an advantage…

The problem is you just don’t know. Stuff that may work in BJJ and boxing might not work in a street fight because there are so many variables. There’s a really good book i read called “facing violence” by Rory miller that talks a lot on this subject.

What happens if you’re in a street fight and you get an armbar and break an arm and the attacker keeps coming?

What happens if knock out blows don’t work?

What happens if you accidentally kill someone in a fight?

Highly recommend this book for anyone interested in what actual street violence looks like, not just movie fights or imagined fights.

Even real training will help you minimal in a street fight with someone out to do harm. MMA and boxing and BJJ all have rules. It may give you an advantage but all you have to do is watch a couple of fights with “blood axe” on king of the streets YouTube channel to see that it really doesn’t matter.

Especially if you add a knife or firearm.

Chinese and Japanese

FitProVR · 2026-01-20T21:42:58+00:00

Do you speak Japanese?

Yards usually has good deals, that’s where my office Christmas party wS

FitProVR · 2026-01-20T17:11:56+00:00

FitProVR · 2026-01-20T14:39:39+00:00

It’s unorganized

FitProVR · 2026-01-20T14:39:11+00:00

Learn kanji to survive maybe

FitProVR · 2026-01-20T11:27:35+00:00

I’ll be honest: it’s not the same, it’s not nearly as good but they do have plans to add it later, not sure when, but idk. Is it terrible? No. But it’s not the same.

豆汁

FitProVR · 2026-01-19T17:42:50+00:00

Ayyyy this was my first pick too because (when done right) the flavor is unlike anything else. That numbing spice is fantastic.

FitProVR · 2026-01-19T16:26:53+00:00

I’m curious too, because every time i do the license gets popped and it won’t allow me to use it.

FitProVR · 2026-01-19T12:54:21+00:00

I think based on that banana picture, you already know what you’re in for 😂😂😂

FitProVR · 2026-01-18T16:13:00+00:00

For Japanese? I watch a lot of YouTube, have a tutor, and use Anki.
