get up, suffer, despair, go to bed
Try to learn new vocab, forget it like... a month later because your LEP isn't available for practice, talk to randoms on VCs and not really progress, then cry and wonder why you still "study" the language LMAO.
I have been learning for a month: Everyday anki sign learning, trying to text with natives on the server, trying to watch chinese shows, asking LLM's about grammar structure- when curious about the grammar then I ask LLM's
Wow we have the same routine!
When I started years ago, when I was living in China, I had an hour bus commute to a nearby city and hammered in Pimsleur during that time (it was a small city with very few English speakers so I had to learn, which was tough but immensely rewarding at the same time). I also did anki decks to get some basic characters, occasionally writing characters in a notebook too to get muscle memory (I can't really write but I found it helped with character recognition). In my last 6-10 months in China, I did language exchanges in the run up to the HSK 4 exam as I felt I wasn't getting enough exposure to the language (I was also working in China as a TEFL teacher at the time, and decided to sit in the Chinese teachers office, which was really rewarding as I got to know the staff).
