Thought it was gonna be about too many options for leisure time leading to decision paralysis, leading to stress, back to panel 1
I know it's a joke, but learning a language is actually kind of fun. It can be rough when trying to get past that entry to intermediate, but once you start realizing you can do some light reading and listening, it gets addictive. I'd be spending all day reading and watching shit in Japanese if I could right now.
Im just starting to learn japanese funnily enough. It's a bit of a struggle getting through the start esp since I never learned chinese as a kid either LOL
Don't worry, most people only knew basic weeabo words from anime like I did before I started. Kanji is daunting, but if you use some sort of SRS program with mnemonics to learn it (+ learn radicals!), you'll get good! It takes time, like if you do Wanikani everyday it's still a little more than a year to complete all 60 levels. But I'm at the point now where I'm frustrated if a word is written in kana rather than kanji 😅
I learned most of my vocab through Wanikani (Currently 3K+ are "burned"), but you could just use the Kaishi 1.5K deck to get some beginner vocab and go from there. I now get my vocab from immersion (YT vids, manga).
Doomscrolling on the couch it is then.
At least you made it to the couch.
