    Sorry may I ask what is SRS? But I agree that sometimes it’s better to just dive head first into it rather than take a careful clear path of learning - to keep it interesting as well. Trying to learn perfect grammar has sometimes hindered my learning and I felt as if I was actually learning more when I’d make mistakes and try to correct them later.

    Happy to hear you are progressing, keep it up!

      Sorry. It drives me crazy when people use acronyms without expanding them, and here I am doing it!

      SRS = spaced repetition system. Anki, etc. The concept is popular in language learning, but seems especially prevalent in Japanese. Every app or system of study for the language seems to like implementing it in some way.

        No worries lol! Thanks for the explanation :) And it does seem like amongst japanese learners Anki is incredibly popular together with Anime/Manga.

        I’ve done a bit of gaming in my target language before and that gave me a huge boost!
