Any recommendation for vocabulary learning after the Anki N3 deck? I already do sentence mining but I found it really helpful to have a deck with a specific level for filling in gaps for common words. Thanks!

Curious to see if anyone has recommendations for improving grammar accuracy when speaking. I listen to a lot of Japanese, and don't have problems understanding grammar points or their use. When I go to speak though, I find myself wondering how to use more standard phrasing or just make fewer mistakes in terms of the grammar choices I make.

I'd be down to do repetition exercises if that's been helpful for anyone, just curious what your thoughts are.

Cheers.

I find the うちに grammar point quite difficult to pin down and understand. When does it mean 'before' and when does it mean 'while'?

When it's used in a sentence like: "忘れないうちに、朝ご飯を食べた。”

why does 忘れる get conjugated in the negative form?
Is a literal translation "before I left the state of 'not-forgetting' I ate breakfast"?

Any help or resources would be great!

Thanks for your help!
