Well, it's probably presumptuous to offer unsolicited advice, but I think literally *everything* in language is connected. The wall people face when they get sufficiently advanced is that the knowledge they need to get higher requires breadth of knowledge from all sorts of things. It's literally just like a gatekeeping farming quest in games where you can't really proceed to the next zone until you collect XX number of words, expressions, and experiences. That's tough, but on the other hand, it's sort of freeing in that it doesn't particularly matter where you get them from. If you find yourself wanting to say something at any point, then it's going to be broadly useful in the future with almost 100% certainty, if not directly, then indirectly. Learning literally anything--the good that's in front of you right now, as you put it--is not just meaningful learning, but it's honestly just as if not more efficient than using some predetermined study set. My two cents.

2023-02-23 01:26:30 +0000 UTCYeah that's sort of the difficulty I'm facing below. Related to the thread with Chris right below, once I got in a situation where through the natural flow of things I was required to speak Korean every day, it was pretty easy to advance. It was painfully obvious all the things I couldn't communicate and that was easy enough to fix. Now that I don't feel that same discomfort and also go longer without having very pressing things I need to learn (and can also "cheat" to some extent by communicating a point in a very rough way) it's less obvious how I should be progressing, and so I've just been plateued for a few months I feel, maybe even getting worse since the breakup π

2023-02-22 20:33:31 +0000 UTCI remember when it was like that for me in Japanese. I'd mostly just watch the sports and weather part of the news because there are only so many types of weather, and basically you either win, lose, or draw in sports, so the vocab was basically the same every day. As you've said before, it can take a really long time to get up to that next plateau, and since you're already able to live life, it can seem like not as huge of a reward for the effort, but for me it just sort of happened gradually before I really noticed it, and here we are, haha. I hope your life stays more interesting than mine, but still, as they say νμ΄ν . :)

2023-02-22 20:27:36 +0000 UTCThinking about it more I think a big part of it as it relates to skills and learning is at a certain level the next steps for improvement become less clear. You've already picked all the low hanging fruit and now really have to go in depth in a very focused and specific way. An imaginary example for Karasuno: they can keep doing drills non stop, and they'll improve, but all the other teams at this level are already doing that. So what is the edge you can develop that allows some kind of transcendence and how do you even go about practicing that

2023-02-22 20:25:52 +0000 UTCI think I kinda get what you were saying in the end, how as you improve, the same level of improvement gets harder and longer the higher you get. Sort of like how, at a certain point, a slightly better version of something you buy can be twice the price (like cars or food). If you want something twice as effective, you may to pay many times the original price. Although I think that a lot of this can pay off a lot. To be the best, you donβt need to be twice as good as everyone else, just a little bit better than the previous guy. Everyone remembers Usain Bolt, not the second fastest man. Anyways, sorry for the whole speech, I just thought what you said at the end was interesting and wanted to talk about it.

2023-02-22 20:22:45 +0000 UTCI get what you mean by having fun with it. I have basically the same conversation prompts every time I meet someone new, and so it ends up taking on a playful feel eventually. You retread the same path so many times that you can see it in front of you and can test for various reactions, experiment, etc. About my Korean, I'd say I'm upper intermediate. The most formal measurement I have is that I finished a TOPIK (Korea's JLPT) level 4 course, out of 6 total. In practice though my ability is very specific to certain contexts, as I learned the majority from my ex girlfriend through practice. I can easily have casual conversations (I have plenty of friends with whom we speak only in Korean, though that puts some work or strain on them perhaps), meet people, navigate all functions of daily life effortlessly, but am hopelessly out of my depth when it comes to anything specialized like politics etc, and can't understand TV or the news really except in small snippets.

2023-02-22 19:06:13 +0000 UTC20:20 "Did he really just refer to it as their weirdo attack?" Yes, yes he did, haha. They'll sometimes translate it as "freak," but the word is 'henjin' (ε€δΊΊ, "strange person"). Every time I meet Japanese people, we have that conversation. "Whaatt? You're Canadian, but you speak Japanese?" I just try to mix it up by having fun with it, or just finding something else to talk about until later. I think it's natural for people to ask, though, and I've realized that frankly, most conversations (about the weather, sports, news, what have you) are pretty repetitive anyway, so if this helps me get to know people, then at least it's a conversation I've practiced before, haha. Always curious just how much Korean/Japanese Goodwin actually knows. I think it's more than he lets on. Miyagi prefecture (where Karasuno is) isn't really that far from Tokyo (about 4 or 5 hours by car, or about 90 minutes by shinkansen), and Miyagi has big cities like Sendai, but I guess the schtick is that Karasuno must be way up in the mountain countryside of Miyagi. Like Kenma said, Lev's name means "lion," just like most of the Nekoma players are based on cats of some sort (or work animals in the case of their libero, Yaku). His last name, Haiba, is written "grey wings," hence the hair.
