@LAeru6 Motivation can come and go, but constant immersion will train your brain to function in Japanese more & more. That can carry you forward even when taking a break & not 'formally' studying. And, when you are ready to dive back in, that immersion will have preserved your knowledge.
@LAeru6 - buy 日本語 books on topics one likes, such as cooking or travel
- watch 日本語 CM & shows, even live news feeds from Japan on while getting ready in the morning
- order Japanese products one likes & translate the packaging
- try to reply to at least 3 or 4 日本語 tweets a day
