Has anyone solved the age old problem of not forgetting you made tea while waiting for it to cool?
@kai @tootbrute Studying every day on Bunpro for a few months helped a lot. I feel I can now conjugate Japanese verbs just fine, although not yet at conversational speed.
I tried learning verbs "naturally", but after years of watching anime and having simple conversations I hadn't made a lot of progress. One issue (perhaps the main issue) is that strangers don't correct you as long as they can figure what you're saying. Even most friends won't point out your mistakes.
@kai @tootbrute Don't you also feel that Japanese has a disproportionate amount of learning software relative to Chinese?
I can't help bu think that's due to all the geeks who love both programming *and* manga / anime
