I went to Japan last march after working through GENKI 1 and was terrified to talk to people. When I got back I was embarrassed and worked a bit harder. I'm level 11 in wani kani, got through both N5 decks on bun pro, and reread GENKI 1. I am headed back in 3 weeks and still feel that I know nothing. I want to dive into listening practice so I can at least follow conversations but everything is either so simple I fall asleep or so complex I get maybe a word every 10 sentences.
Has anyone encountered this hurdle? I'm going to keep up with my wani kani and bun pro but I just want to use what I have learned.
