I don’t know why it’s so hard to click that review button, but I’ll consider some changes to make to my “learning Japanese journey”
Cue low-key stream of consciousness attempt
My current goal: be able to read through Bocchi Volume 1 in Japanese; I bought it from my local bookstore; I’ve seen season 1, which I think covers Volume 1.
Initially my goal was to be able to enjoy anime without subtitles; back then I watched Pokemon XY in the raw format because the subbed version wasn’t out yet. Three-ish years after I started studying Japanese, I could comfortably watch anime (but because the subbed episodes came out a lot faster and now I find it difficult to find raw anime without subtitles)
When I watch rom-com anime, I don’t really need subtitles, but it’s still uncomfortable. And it would be great to find a place to watch raw anime, like isekai for example (since I’m quite comfortable with the genre)
My current curriculum: low-key non-existent, I felt like maybe I’m tired of obscure grammar points that I don’t even know exist.
I read somewhere that it’s important when studying languages to do top-down but also bottom-up. Top-down being like studying Wanikani and Bunpro, from a list of 1000 most frequent characters and all that.
Bottom-up being like actually trying to read manga and the news and going to Japan/places where I need to read and speak and hear Japanese
What I was using: Wanikani, Bunpro, and Kaniwani
