I know if I just keep at learning vocab and grammar there’s no way I’m not going to get better eventually, but something in my head keeps telling me I’m not doing it right and it’s all wasted effort.

Oh, I’m not going to stop, but I’ve dropped so many things I tried to learn because I had the persisiting feeling that I’m doing it wrong and it won’t lead anywhere, yet I don’t know how to do it right. And I’d rather not do it at all, than waste so much time and energy. So I’m afraid one day my resolve is going to crumble and I’ll truly waste all the time I’ve put in Japanese so far. I want to prevent it, and thus, want to hear your advice :p

It will let you know what you are doing wrong, and is a huge morale booster(for me) as I don’t want to make the same mistake in the next entry as I have just done.
I havn’t really been posting many entries myself(only 4 :/), but that is how I feel with posting on lang-8. I want to improve every time I do a post, and at the same time you can meet some nice people :)
Don’t know if that helped, but hope it is of use.

I should just bookmark it and read it whenever I feel like stopping.

@Mark: I don’t feel that I know enough to make an entry beyond a few disjointed sentences… I’m not going to wait until God knows when, but just until I know more vocab, and since I’m learning new words every day, that should come soon.

I wish I could remember more from the time when I could be considered a beginner/intermediate learner in English. It would’ve helped greatly. Except, I didn’t learn English through any conscious effort, just classes at school and the internet. Never had to study grammar or vocabulary lists. But it also took a very long time to learn this way :p

Your english is more than excellent… how long did it take?

When I was in Seattle last week, I visited a Japanese bookstore. I was really excited to buy manga but couldn’t find everything I was looking for. Looking at the shelves and shelves of nothing but Japanese, I felt completely lost. I’ve been studying over a year but sometimes wonder if I’m going about it all wrong and that’s why I still can’t understand much when looking at raw Japanese materials/books/articles/television. I fare much better with lesson material, but give me native material and I’m lost.

Unfortunately, I don’t have much advice to offer other than don’t give up completely. Just wanted to let you know that there are others out there who feel the same way!
