Hi. My study has just turned bland and repetitive. It’s become too much of a chore I just rush to get done. I’m looking for ideas about other things to do. This isn’t a ‘how to study’ but rather a how did you refresh or what weird study things do you do that aren’t standard.
I’ve been studying for 7 years almost daily. For the past two years I have not missed a day. I usually: 1. Vocab and kanji flashcards. 2. Read news (out loud to practice pronunciation. 3. Read a little bit of a book. 4. Learn a new grammar point from textbook and compose a sentence to post on HelloTalk to get corrections.
It’s just in a bit of a cycle of learn and forget because it’s not so practical.
I really like reading the news and I really want to like reading books but the books are too hard. I don’t like flashcards anymore. I think they were good to build base vocab but now there’s too many words in my head that unless I use them, they just cycle through. I hate the textbook and composing sentences but I know how important using grammar is to remembering it.
Any left of field ideas? I want a bit shake up.
