I’m so sorry for late thread - been a bit overwhelmed last week. But worry not! The vocabulary must grow.

    Thanks!

    I’m working on starting a new career, so I’m chaining my work productivity sprints with the first two language learning sprints especially. Had some major setbacks, so my career motivation has been in the toilet. I’ll typically do either the third sprint or minor tasks (responding to emails, office/home cleaning) before lunch and get back to it after the break.

    I don’t know why, but something really clicked for me with Japanese in December, and it’s been enough to prop up the other stuff. Even though it was less structured last year, over the past couple months with solid structure I really feel like I’ve actually learned how to work at home. It’s been different!

      Do you have goals to work in or with a Japanese company? I hear the N2 certification is one that kinda opens those doors.

        Yeah, I’ve heard the same. It’d be nice to have the option, at the least. I figure in the end it’ll mostly be a freelancing certification, but eh, life’s weird. I could end up back in Osaka for all I know.
