I’ve been learning for a long time too lol. I knew the very simple stuff since high school, but I never really learnt much until the past few years.
It’s actually pretty hard to learn without an accountability partner. Back when another friend of mine was studying for N4, I was studying too(N5), but I stopped halfway.
Informal learning is also a great way if you’re not preparing for JLPT. I can somewhat communicate if I’m not writing in formal Japanese, albeit with very limited prose.
I should revisit akiyama ryohei sensei’s videos on Japanese grammar.
It’s true, you definitely need some kind of partner, I’m mostly stuck at N4 level but it’s still annoying that spoken/vernacular Japanese is different enough that my comprehension is worse than French, and I only learned that much later, and written Japanese is generally a challenge because I didn’t grow up with Chinese literacy skills lololol. All these years and I still have the real world level of a toddler imo haih
Yeah, written and spoken Japanese are quite different especially if it’s among friends. XD
I think I’m somewhere around the end of A2 in marugoto. I stopped at A2-4 which is actually halfway of N4, but I’ve forgotten lots of terms that I normally don’t use and informal language doesn’t help me with grammar exercises haha
