It's as the title says, I lost a lot of motivation in learning Japanese and I don't know how to get it back. What do you do to keep going strong?
For context, I started studying seriously last year around April. I had tons of motivation, spent 2 to 4 hours daily learning vocabulary, Grammar and watching videos. I used (and still use) wanikani because the mnemonics sticks with me way better than any anki deck, I know that I can't learn as much vocabulary because it's tied to kanjis, but I'm ok with it for now.
For grammar, I used bunpro back then, but English isn't my mother tongue so it got hard to understand quickly, but I stuck to it until July.
After that, I went to japan for 2months straight, and things went hard on me, because using japanese every day for 2months when you're not that experienced just gave me headaches, and I had to take a pause in September.
When I got back at it in October, my motivation was gone, I was spending maybe 30min every other day doing wanikani reviews, but that's all I could do.
I managed to do a bit more since then but it's still very slow, I picked up genki 1 and 2, I'm almost done with genki 1 but it took me MONTHS.
My next trip to Japan is in 14months and I really want to progress as much as possible.
What can I do to get my motivation back? What do you guys do in a day to progress? To I need to add something beside grammar and vocabulary before finishing genki 2?
Thanks for reading me, have a good day!
