TL;DR
When you’re stuck, you don’t need more resources—you need diagnosis.
Find your bottleneck and fix it with targeted practice.
Step 1: Identify Your Bottleneck (Pick ONE)
A) Grammar doesn’t stick
You “understand” but can’t produce.
B) Vocabulary doesn’t grow
You keep forgetting or don’t recall quickly.
C) Listening doesn’t improve
Japanese feels too fast.
D) Speaking feels unnatural
You translate word-by-word.
E) Motivation collapses
You can’t keep the routine.
Fix A: Grammar Doesn’t Stick
Do “pattern → example → substitution.”
- learn one structure deeply,
- write 3 sentences,
- swap one word each time.
