For some reason, after I miraculously passed N3 last winter, my motivation and desire to study have dissappeared.

I even started going to classes again, hoping to get better and fill in the gaps I had while studying alone, but all they do is annoy me.

I finally managed to go visit Japan and seeing how what we’re learning isn’t nearly enough to properly understand everything made me lose even more motivation. (I, fortunately, had no problem with interactions, but reading, kanji, the way Japanese actually talk).

Of course, it’s different when you visit the country and see and hear a language in real life, but it made me realize how little I actually know.

So, how to you stay motivated and how to you make learning more fun? (anki hasn’t really worked and neither has reading everything over and over again (or maybe I have a short attention span and bad memory now)).

Thank you in advance!
