Happy birthday Essi!! お目出度う誕生日
How do you stay motivated to study, especially as a beginner, when all media you love is too advanced?
Thank you, ありがとう!😊💖
Even if the media is "too advanced" for you to understand everything, you can still get some reading or listening practice, learn a word that keeps popping up, etc. So just make the best out of it and don't beat yourself up over not understanding everything. You can also search for media that is more suitable for your level.

Comeback & re-introduction
Hi! I disappeared around October last year, but I'm back now and thought I should re-introduce myself!
My name is Essi, I'm from Finland and I'm turning 29 (on March 6th). I'm a university student and I major in German language & culture and minor in communications and Japanese language & culture. My native language is Finnish and my target languages are English, Japanese, Swedish, German and Arabic. I'm also interested in linguistics, especially historical linguistics, sociolinguistics, psycholinguistics, language revitalization and (second-)language acquisition. Nice to meet you!
