Japanese would be my fourth language (and hopefully the last), learning languages been always my hobby and I'm familiar with all stages of this long journey.
For some reason, I feel stuck!
I'm a serious learner. I study everyday for one hour at least and I'm a big fan of comprehensible input since it worked with both English and Spanish.
I've been studying for a year and half now and I tried immersing for two months. I have more than 1k hours and I studied 400 kanji till now (kinda lazy when it comes to kanji and reading but I'm not in a rush when it comes to reading). So in conclusion I think I'm at an N4 level.
I focus on improving my listening skills and learn as many words as I can and of course they all in sentences. I use Anki for that.
I'm learning it because I wanna watch anime and Japanese youtubers without subtitles. I also wanna travel to Japan in the future, I'm in love with the Japanese culture too.
I just don't know if I'm rushing things or if I'm actually stuck?
I don't confuse myself with many sources btw. But idk what's wrong?
Any tips?
And for those who'll ask me to learn grammar I already tried that too, I started learning this language with textbooks and some YouTube channels then I switched to CI.
Now I won't give up of course but I wanna know if there's something I can do to make me feel that I progressed at least.
