I have been self teaching with some tutoring for about a year and a half now but I feel like I have made 0 progress and I literally cant remember anything after learning it. how do you guys remember stuff?
Are you using anything you learn daily? For instance, if I wanted to drink something, I would hold a small Japanese conversation in my head for ordering drinks at a restaurant before I actually made myself one.
By going over what you’ve covered again and again, you can’t expect to retain a large amount of information by only reading it once.
I put everything I want to remember into Anki and let it do its magic.
Do you ever try to use the stuff you learn or are you just trying to memorize it?
