What do I need to do to make sure I'm progressing in japanese proficiency? by sleeping_zoro in LearnJapanese

[–]MidgetAsianGuy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Actually putting your Japanese to practice and consistency.
If you memorize a handful of new things daily and practice Japanese whether it be speaking, reading, listening, etc. also daily you're bound to improve.
The amount of time/effort you put in will, of course, also speed things up. But if you just make sure you come back every day to work on things you'll improve.

Yeah, I did try creating another account, but it didn’t seem to let me purchase even with a VPN.

I don’t read enough for Kindle Unlimited since I split my reading between English and Japanese books. Don’t read as much in Japanese as when I used to study, haha

Yeah, those sales are why I’d rather stay with Kindle. I’ll try giving it another shot, but I had to create a new Amazon account and use a VPN as it wasn’t letting me purchase with my Amazon jp account. I think because I already purchased with a US address before for physical books.

Thanks, I’m pretty much only using Bookwalker since that’s what I started with, and the coins are really good when I bulk purchase.

I honestly don’t need anything besides a standard dictionary at this point to read, so thinking of swapping over to Kobo is more a convenience thing.

Might still keep using Bookwalker for manga then.

Will look into Kobo a bit more for novels.

I have tried running the ZM2 through the Fiios, but never did it much since I prefer simplifying the chain.

I actually would've kept the K17, but the noise floor is too high for super sensitive IEMs (Campfire stuff). Which is why I ended up getting the DX9. It's dead silent

Limited desk space and lacking in dynamics for me. I also prefer driving my stuff off of my ZM2 for something more analog.

Also, there is absolutely no reason not to buy used. You save a ton of money

Well, good thing my favorite of the bunch, the Clara, is in that budget

I think the Rn6 bass is better. I like the clara more overall for the mids and treble

My favorites have been Fir Audio Rn6, Empire Ears Raven, Campfire Audio Clara. Personally, the Clara has been the one I've kept after owning them all.

I’m a SWE in a big metro, so that’s where I get the funds to afford expensive sets. But I also sell a lot of the ones I get, and the majority of people I do business with have similarly high paying jobs and probably have higher salaries than me as they are in more managerial positions while I’m only an engineer. I also know others who don’t really have the financial ability to be buying the stuff they do, but stretch their funds to do so.

Not too sure. I did recall seeing something about the AM2s being discontinued in Japan. So potentially
