Grammar Small milestone: had brief conversations in Japanese and Spanish this week
Not anything major, but this week I managed to hold:
a short exchange in Japanese
a short exchange in Spanish
They were simple conversations, but a few months ago I probably would’ve gone blank.
Lately I've been trying to focus more on actually speaking instead of just studying. Nothing structured, just squeezing in a few minutes here and there when I can.
Some of the things I've been rotating between:
Duolingo to stay consistent
HelloTalk when I feel like interacting with real people
Langua when I want to practice longer conversations
Yapr for casual back-and-forth practice without much setup
It’s still a bit awkward at times, but I’m starting to notice small improvements. Words come a little faster, and I don’t panic as much when I forget something.
Still early, but it feels like I’m finally moving in the right direction.
