Your brain's first instinct in a new language is comprehension, which takes all your energy. But if you free up that space by understanding, acquisition becomes more likely. It's less about conscious effort and more about receptive skills like reading and listening. #LanguageLearning #SecondLanguage

After a round of research, I'm now ready to start rewriting my latest Japanese story. The manuscript currently stands at 73,000 characters, roughly 35,000 words, which is novella length, but I expect it to grow to short novel length during the rewrite.

Achieving fluency in a second language is tough. It's about more than just knowing words; it's about intuitive understanding, much like your first language. While not always the primary goal, moving towards this deeper connection is key for many learners. #LanguageLearning #SecondLanguage #Fluency…

I've just finished writing the first draft of a Japanese novel. It's by far the longest thing I've ever written in the language. Now comes the hard part: revising it until it's ready for the eyes of an editor. Still, it feels good to have taken the story this far.
