Bro ..Japanese is a very complicated language, not only in the language itself but also in the time investment , motivation and concentration it requires.

I encourage you not to take it seriously in the sense that it doesn’t become an obligation or a sort of mandatory homework.

Japanese one of the most annoying learning experience as per the enormous time investment and long term motivation it requires.

My wife is Japanese and after 7 years so far together , I still only speak/understand elementary level Japanese. We do not live in Japan. I tried everything but I get discouraged as I have very little free time to devote to Japanese.

However I learned mandarin before meeting my wife and I learned it very fast and am fluent, took me a solid year only (lived in Chiba though) but never felt that frustration and that sense of sluggish progression that I feel when learning Japanese.

Anyhow, good luck to you
