   Every single failure on r/learnjapanese has the core of "anki is too boring"
   
   Would you rather do root memorization? Cuz I fucking wouldn't. I don't have twelve years to learn kanji like Japanese people.

     @80085 @Kyonko802
     i mean to be fair language learning can be pretty rough to start out
     
     7 years of classical latin and I still sucked when I was ""proficient"" because hell I just drilled vocab most of the time because when you dont have a good core vocab you cant do anything interesting

     @Kyonko802 I just installed the anki pokemon mod and it's no longer boring for me :cafe_sway: most people are just too stupid to learn anything new at all or lack the drive for it. with redditors, I would assume it's both and they just like to complain.

     @theorytoe @80085 yes it's a little boring, but if you don't do the boring part you won't get anywhere

     @theorytoe @Kyonko802 the hardest part is always the fundamentals and the fundamentals typically always require really long, obnoxious drilling. Anki is a great replacement for just reading it over and over again. I've used it for art, networking stuff, cybersecurity classes, and all sorts of things that I need to just drill in.
     
     anki really is an amazing tool for pushing through the hard initial learning period

     @80085 @Kyonko802
     ironically ive ended up finding out that making flashcards manually and drilling them ends ip being more useful
     
     but havent used them that much as of late

     @theorytoe @80085 weed is also a depressant. If you want to actively learn you need either good sleep or stimulants. Making yourself dumber with drugs will only slow you down

     Just don't be like my mom.
     She spent 20 years doing the boring part of English, but she refuses to actually engage with the language (Watching TV etc...), so she is completely stuck in the "I take 5 minutes and 10 corrections to form a sentence" stage.

     @LukeAlmighty @theorytoe @80085　duolingo is absolute trash now. Especially with Japanese. A couple months after I started using it they gutted their lessons and almost completely removed kanji and all the grammar guides, making their lessons completely fucking worthless.
     
     And I hear the other languages got gutted in different ways too. It isn't built to actually teach you languages anymore.

     @LukeAlmighty @Kyonko802 @theorytoe @80085 Let's be honest, Duolingo ain't great for learning. Especially in recent years :cirno_heh:
