I do Japanese because I want to know Japanese also it's fun to learn.
When I wasn't learning Japanese I was learning other stuff in my free time. I guess if learning is not fun to you there's a chance you're not going to make it.
In any case you should reevaluate your motivation. Maybe learning such a difficult language just because of the entertainment is not enough. I know it's not for me.
>I wonder why, that is, aside from the obnoxious pedanty from the most obesseive posters.
In general I think there are a lot of people with a vague notion of wanting to know Japanese but they all don't want to work for it.
I would say the only thing required to learn this language is a lot of discipline to study.

Is that what you want? If so, you must be much less happy than you were a few weeks ago.

It is, but it's still demanding and I have to quesiton whether its worth it. I'm just saying that the more I apply mysefl, the less I become interested in the content for which I'm learning the language. If I'm the only one who's ever experienced this, that would be good to know. If some people have experienced this, but overcome it, that would be good to know to.
>I know it's not for me.
Could you briefly describe your motives?

Well, that's a good point. Plus, I found that when I actually really apply myself, I rarely come here, because it's better spent actually learning the language, as opposed to asking questions or talking about it.

I guess I did before. When I last tried learning Japanese my interest in Anime and Manga faded and subsequently I stopped learning the language as well. Being too dependent on interest in the content was probably the reason I stopped learning then.

I'm much more interested in learning for personal self-improvement now. Also since I am more succesful professionally and not a teenager in high school any more, moving to Japan (even if only for a while) has become a much more attainable goal.
In the end personally it's also structurally different in how I attempt to learn the language this time around. Last time I used to keep thinking "if I only get to point x then I can play this game, watch this movie / this show or read this novel some day". Now I just try to watch / play / read whenever I can and complement this with studying on the side. This way the studying never feels like it's somehow useless. It's actively making me better at what I do.

I'm a sucker for communities for everything I do. Whenever I played a game for a longer time or basically do anything as a hobby I sought out online communities for it. So that's really the main reason why I come here. It also helps me to stick with it somewhat as a daily reminder to do your fucking reps and so on.

I wanna add something to this actually. I feel it has become substantially easier to go into native language content today. Back then I had downloaded lots of raws, but there was nothing in terms of Japanese subs. Also no hover dictionaries like yomichan or comprehensive online grammar guides.
I still have physical editions of the dictionaries of japanese grammar at home, but looking stuff up there is just a fucking pain. Same for looking up unknown Kanji.
The tools today just facilitate engaging with content much earlier and it helps a ton. Setting up your whole learning environment correctly in the beginning and knowing which tools to use is probably the most essential thing you can take from the guide in the OP. Afterwards you have to figure out your day to day routine yourself.
