A few years ago, yeah, heh. And yes, I started to study 3D modeling in Blender as a hobby lately, but I am still not very good at it. Still, progress is being made every day.

You should post some of that stuff! I'd love to see how you model just like everybody else I know.

Haha, maybe eventually, when I feel confident enough that my meshing and texturing are decent to the very least. I was always told that I had a good eye for art but never really put the effort into practicing smt, until now ofc

Welcome to the forums. The Japanese learning caught my attention. What resources are you using?

Daily study using Wanikani (Vocabulary and Kanji), and right now just generally consuming media in Japanese only (Some JP Youtubers I follow, anime, etc). And also have some friends that share my same level so I tend to talk with them only in Japanese. At the beginning tho and to get myself starting I used the Genki books until I got comfortable enough with grammar

Nice. WaniKani is a good resource, but it gets overwhelming fast and demands dedication. What did you do to break into reading?

Manga mostly, sometimes read some simple news articles. Most of my reading tends to come from chat conversations tho

I haven't even heard about some of these before. The only thing I know is Japanese anime, Manga, and others.

Nice. Most sources recommend manga, since it's a good mix of text and visuals. For students new to the language, there's always going to be some unfamiliar vocabulary and grammar, but the key is to keep trying.
