I would say I’m at about an intermediate level (something around N3), where I can consume some media comfortably, stumble through conversation (speak about a small range of topics and occasionally stuttering haha) and listen to a decent portion of everyday conversation.
I do, however, want to push myself to start having more meaningful conversations as soon as I can, and I’m willing to put the work in, I just find that whenever I try to sit down and study I end up listening instead, which is definitely part of it, but I want to crunch beyond passive input.
Right now, I have daily anki grammar cards with audio (which I love) and I use JPDB for vocab from media. I have a scheduled 30-minute speaking session each week with a tutor, what should I add or how should I change my current methods to MEANINGFULLY fill up a daily 2 hour window to improve faster and broaden my range?
Thank you!
Edit: I should mention, I am not studying to pass any tests, just to be closer to my boyfriend in his native language :’}
