I listen to Easy Japanese Podcast on YouTube, who release short conversations about any topic each day. I've been able to understand them better to the point I can tell you what they're talking about and what they segway to.

I am not yet able to make conversation, but I'm aware that it's not a quick process. I began less than a year ago and I think learning the sentence structuring is harder than learning kanji, lol. But that is only my opinion.

For grammar, words, and lexicon, I would recommend Human Japanese, which is a phone/windows app that uses the Genki textbook as it's basis. They have a demo for the first 3 chapters

Learning Japanese due to work and I made a habit of taking at least an hour or two after work to learn a few kanji symbols. It ain't easy but it sure feels satisfying to be able to understand what I'm reading every once in a while. I think I'm struggling more with grammar and sentence structuring due to how vastly different it is from English and Spanish. My goal is to pass the N5 test this year and I'm confident I'll be able to at this pace.

Hobbies are useful for those idle times. I'm currently learning a new language and it's kept my mind active.

If a slow day means sitting around doing nothing... Honestly I'd just feel so desperate that I'd find something to do. And it's not because work has conditioned me to want to be active or anything like that. I just don't wanna sit around wasting my time, unless I'm actually resting.

I agree, it's more tolerable.

I have noticed the irony in most of these, yes. And if mods do enforce the rules as they should (like the .world mods) they get criticized. There's no winning, haha

Case in point. Lemmy is pretty cool if your opinions align with theirs.

Is that the post? I might've blocked either the instance or the group. I can't see it anymore.

Goddammit, I beat this game a week ago, lmao

If only they put as much effort into Sonic Frontiers as they did this one... The choreography of the stages and fights were so good.
