Only managing to scrape by with 30 mins of Japanese a day and 1 Duolingo lesson of Spanish a day. No Irish. Still sorta depressed I think. I think to regrow my efforts I want to just focus in on my Japanese until that’s doing an hour, then grow my other language muscles again. Still amazed how I just completely fucked up after missing a day or 2 to that heatwave. Absolutely insane.
Also want to reply to some folk here on this thread at times, but can only see them if I go directly to this current Language Learning website/page (sopuli.xyz). Can’t see most posts from this instance. I know Ashtear pops on here every so often, but can’t comment to people if I can’t see them on my own feed. Reoccurring issue for me.
Also if anyone has any tips on getting back on the horse. I’d be appreciative.
No idea on the federation issues. With Lemmy I guess I never feel sure whether I’m seeing everything either.
For getting back, I think you’re on the right path. Just keep doing some consistently. Motivation comes and goes, but as long as you have a consistent habit, I expect you’ll be fine.
If it helps, try to think back to why you want to learn [whichever language]. What would it enable you to so? How cool would it be? What if you had consistently worked as hard as you want to starting 10 years ago? Then realize today is 10 years before some other day.
I think that’s a huge part of it. I don’t see the end results being all that worthwhile anymore. For a while I was told learning Japanese will get me nowhere, and it was my focal language, so that really shot my nerves. Next to that, I don’t really find myself being anyway competent at the languages so it’s just struggling uphill constantly with no payoff. At least not yet.
Feels like the better part of 2 years down the drain at the moment if I end up do giving up. Effort levels for attempting studies is very high so I want to engage slowly and not force myself to over indulge to keep up with full force studying. Honestly I just feel like I’m in a slump and when I see things right again, I’ll be rearing to go again. No idea what’s caused the downfall though. I know I’m near homelessness, but that’s just about it for me. I really shouldn’t be all too far gone. There still should be hope, and yet I just feel like I’m wasting away. Don’t mean to emotionally dump/vent, but studying is just so hard to do right now with regards to my languages. I used to always enjoy it. Something is off, and I’m not sure what.
