Language Learning

Doing 90 mins Japanese, 90 mins Spanish, 60 mins Irish. Also about 15 minutes of maths. Way more than I usually put into my languages, but the problem I'm facing is I end up enjoying my time so much when studying Japanese, I end up doing more, then the same with Spanish, then the same with Irish. Maths is still difficult to push myself into, but it's getting easier (I'm also trying to pavlov train myself into enjoying maths by treating myself everytime after (it's working)).

New Spanish book to indulge in too. I had one before but it was very basic and I misplaced it. But the new book is Complete Spanish, Step-By-Step. It's quite the thick book, and I'll be reading it from top to bottom, even if my Spanish is somewhat of an A2 level, I don't think a lot of the grammatical structures make too much sense, so it's another reason why I'm rereading A1 grammar points.

My Japanese is going very well, after finally getting rid of the backlog, I'm pushing forward and making okay work towards N4, I'm only less than a month away from completing the N5 chapter in MaruMori (I redid it twice since I couldn't read the text blurbs, they've since redid that entire section to make it easier, so I guess redoing it was completely worthless). The "te" conjugations so far have been a lot easier than I thought in the conjugation trainer. It seems to mostly be kute for i adjectives and de for na adjectives, or I just got really unlucky with my conjugation drills and got a really piss easy set of words. That being said I think it only drills one type of te until later, so that maybe it.

Indulging in Irish listening again, only can make out words, but only if I can read the English beforehand then end up paying extra attention to the sentence. Still overall, really basic Irish and need to get into it more. Spanish listening is way more in depth, I'm able to follow along with intermediate podcasts and get about 50-80% of it, what I seem to mostly be missing is the vocab. Then I'll be using Conjugato for the conjugation trainer for Spanish. But after I read a bit of the book first.

Focusing in on fewer subjects instead of a breath of subjects has made me feel a lot better and gives me far more enjoyment, so I'll stick with these 4 subjects now, and then maybe Draw or Blender for creative fun as well.

Really enjoying myself again. Not as prolific, but enjoying myself.
