Hello, all. I’ve currently been learning Japanese for a while now. I’ve done Core 2.3k, Tango N5/N4, and I should be learning grammar (realistically it should’ve been learned). Hell, I’ve even tried to do some basic posts and had short interactions on HelloTalk.

I just cannot do it though. There is something about going through these grammar guides (Tae Kim & Cure Dolly) that just burns me out so fast and it’s so difficult to get into.

I can sit there and listen to mostly incomprehensible Japanese YouTube videos and shows while picking out stuff and semi-understanding things but I know that’s not really helping me learn anything. I can understand sentences much better than I can formulate them and it’s frustrating because I truly love this language.

Does anyone have any tips/advice on how to get through this? I really need to get over this hump because I think it’ll help so much more fall into place for my learning. If the answer is just “get over it”, then that’s fine too.

Note: I read the rules before posting but if my post still violates something that I missed, I will happily take it down.
