I honestly have so much to comment and discuss but maybe I can book a lesson to get to you know better and share my history (and struggles with Japanese lol). I just found your channel and the content has been nothing short of amazing and honestly it's a special feeling to feel like you're gonna make it big and I'm surprised you haven't yet. As a software engineer, I noticed that you're pretty savvy with setting up Anki and I actually just went through most of your videos on setting up the plugins which was actually kinda miserable sometimes (not your fault, Anki's) and even I had a tough time trying to figure things out. Question 1: My question to you is are you also a software engineer or have experience in IT or related? If not, then I'm curious what you do as a career and what your other hobbies and interests are (if you even have time for that outside of Japanese lol). Question 2: You discussed writing while doing Anki but I'm not sure exactly what that process was. Could you go over in-depth how that worked? The only writing I've done with Anki is taken a deck with Kanji (front) > Eng. Translation (back), reversed it, then went through that deck trying to write each kanji down. It really helped me retain the kanji strongly at the time but I got burnt out doing that deck on top of a vocab. deck. From your videos, it looked like you were doing your writing from your main deck but curious how that worked. Thanks!

Yea if you've got a lot of questions that's probably the best place to go! Thought any simple questions that you think the answer to could help everybody else- feel free to ask here too!

Get content Cheif! I've recently returned to studying Japanese and here's a question I've recently been asking myself on the basis of some apps teaching vocab in the context of a particular sentence: Do you think its better to learn vocabulary and hence what I'd put on to a flashcard in its dictionary form and then learn to apply the lego-like conjugation system OR would it actually be helpful to be learning vocab in a particular context? I personally feel like learning the dictionary form as a basis is my best option and then just letting my language engine naturally learn how to appropriately conjugate a word in a given context using comprehensible input is the way to go. BUT, perhaps there is some sense in learning 歩いている as 'I'm currently walking' for example??
