I don't know who to explain it but sometimes, I feel overwhelmed and I feel like It's not productive. For context, I'm in a language school, three hours of class per day. You could say It's not much but I swear, learning Japanese is a full time job. Things I have to taggle everyday:
- Adding new words seen at school, 25 per day with Bunpro.
- Reviewing all the words in the stack (it's around 200 per day).
- Doing Wanikani.
- Learning the kanji they give us everyday (that obviously don't follow the Wanikani way).
- Learning the grammar (just by adding the points we've worked in class)
- Doing the grammar Bunpro reviews.
Not mentioning, doing the laundry, exercising, cooking, cleaning my room, going to groceries, commuting, eating and so on.
At this point of the day, I didn't even immerse myself with content. What's the point anyway? Watching Japanese content but being too tired to watch with Japanese subtitles, and being tempted to watch with my native language subtitles, I don't see how It can help me improve my skill. Reading news article? Meh, I don't know half of the words, I have to check them all the time, why not use Google Translate?
For the week-end? I do nothing but catching up pending tasks such as reviews, house chores during the week. Groundbreaking.
This just feels… overwhelming. I feel I lost all the pleasure of learning, discovering the language at I had when I started, now I feel like It's a task I have to do without any reward but bad results, just like a full time job. I want to be productive, but I cannot.
