**Trying to get back into Japanese 🇯🇵**

Japanese
#1

Hi everyone!

I started learning Japanese about a year to a year and a half ago and managed to reach the N5 level. However, I eventually stopped studying and haven’t been consistent with Japanese for quite a while.

Recently, I’ve been wanting to get back into learning Japanese, but getting started again has been harder than I expected.

I’m hoping to rebuild my foundation, get back into a daily study routine, and eventually reach a level where I can comfortably understand and speak Japanese.

If anyone here has gone through a similar experience, I’d love to hear how you got back on track!

I’m looking forward to starting this journey again. 頑張ります！ :muscle:

I’ve started studying Japanese years ago and focused more on kanji and vocab, without doing too much grammar. I’ve done that for about 2,5 years and then got a bit burnt out and forgot why I was even doing that. After about 5 years, last year went to Japan and got so inspired again that I started with renewed vigor from the beginning, focusing more on grammar than I did before. I’ve since developed a very solid habit of studying every day for at least an hour using BunPro, Wanikani and occasionally writing my own sentences.

It was probably a necessary break, which showed me that my approach and mindset weren’t ideal and that as in any marathon, you need to know why you’re doing it to keep on going! So welcome back to studying, 頑張ってください！
