Conjunctions are kind of a pain in the ass. Also, I started using Anki as a precaution for when I start going into a dormant state. I actually came to find it as a treat of some sort, but I'm neurodivergent, so...

There are some words that I already know the meaning to before I could retrieve the English word in my mind, those are what I put into "Easy", the ones where the English word comes first I put into "Good", and those where I stumble on or shuffle through is "Hard".

(Btw for those using AnkiDroid, Learning Ahead limit is automatically set at 20 so when you press 'Again' the card will immediately be available, which defeats the purpose of spaced repetition. So, I set it at 0.)

For once I feel like I actually might be doing sustainable progress. Doing Anki requires minimal setup and I made sure daily study on there will take only a few minutes at most. I have this problem where for months I would be obsessed with the language I'm learning and make huge progress but then on some months I am dormant.

I used to learn Japanese but of course, I fell short on the kanji, and I haven't played Japanese MMOs in a while so I haven't had any reinforcement in a while. But with Latin I actually learned how to spontaneously generate sentences. My internal thoughts often fire randomly and sometimes it's in Latin. I never had that with Japanese!

There is just something so satisfying with the thought of gaining an additional ability to understand more of the world. I have read and was moved by a fanfiction on Ao3 that was written in French and only because there was Google Translate. But say, if someday such services no longer existed, how would I be able to understand and read it again?
