Thanks to all the people here and for all the encourging words I went and tried again to have a chat in my target language and it went well! :)

    Been continuing to play through a game, read news, and also started trying a short novel, but I’m not quite there yet. I’m excited to find new words and Kanji as I go through these but have to keep reminding myself I should be more focused on the content than the language. The biggest learnings won’t hit until the language fades into the background. So I’m trying to find the balance, but having a hard time preventing myself from looking up a word or two every other dialog box.

    Glad you kept trying and it worked out better Lazycog!

      Thanks emb :)

      I really like the “until language fades into the background” bit, really summarizes the goal of language learning well!
