I love learning Japanese “Oh, you know the basics of hiragana and what they all look/sound like? Cool cool cool. Now do it again. It’s the same sounds but they look different now. See you in another month so you can memorize 2,000 new characters”
I am genuinely enjoying it though I have a fuck ton of free time because lmao can’t go anywhere so like why not try to learn a language for somewhere i want to travel to eventually
