Asking out of curiosity and to learn from your experience. You had mentioned "I've made more progress in two months than in my previous 12-18 months of (somewhat sporadic) study".
How could you tell? Is it because you were able to comprehend more of the language (comprehension), or people who speak Japanese told you that you are better (understandability)?
The reason I ask is, I seem to pickup words and grammar but am absolutely incomprehensible when I converse with a native speaker.
- emtel 7y agoMainly my comprehension has improved. I haven't been doing much speaking practice because the method is so heavily focused on input. I'm not as worried about being understood, as I've never had much trouble being understood when saying the limited things I know how to say. My problem has always been that the response is incomprehensible to me.
