I’ve been seriously studying Japanese for a few months now. I think  I  started around February or March earlier this year.I sit down to read, write and memorize Japanese words, minimum half an hour a day, but most of the times more than that.

I believe a little doubt would manage to creep into the strongest of faith in people at times. Although, I know that, through gumption, there are people, who succeeded in speaking a foreign language fluently, I still have doubts in my own ability. It is a horrible feeling. When in comes to that, there would be so many questions that pop up to undermine my focus.

I got the 3rd book of the ‘Japanese from Zero’ series yesterday. I have not finished the 2nd book though. Going on a bit slow because I am memorizing words and also already started with my Kanji.

But being slow does demotivates a little bit. Worse of all, I am afraid that I’d forget what I’ve learnt when I progress further.

This post does sound negative doesn’t it? I’m feeling a little irritated of everything actually. I just broke my glasses for the 3rd time. One of the legs snapped off. Repairable, but annoying nevertheless. I need to get an industrial clamp or something to keep two pieces together tightly after glueing. Really wish there are some local industrial supplies online store here. Sure  am not in the mood to go out.

Anyhow, writing this post did make me feel better. It’s not that it had solved my problem but it sure did make it look like nothing to ponder upon too much.
