I’ve been studying pretty regularly for the past 3-4 months, and I’m now feeling a little lost. I’m trying to just build vocab and grammar slowly, and within the context of my study I feel confident, but then lose a lot of it when reading news, watching japanese TV, etc. It can be disheartening because I might feel proud having read or understood someone speaking within my study sessions easily, but then natural japanese media makes me feel like I’ve learned nothing.
Where do I go from here? Am I just in the grind stage now where the excitement is gone and I just need to continue doing what I’m doing? Or am I lacking because I can only study a couple hours a day most days?
