Long time no post!

I'm a keen language autistic and already know German from school. After a hiatus and many life events I am back to my passion of language learning since it is helping me get some stability in my rough life at the moment.

>Started learning Russian a year ago or so
>Been doing little bits each day
>Super strong on vocab, know the top 2000 most used words and haven't missed a day of flashcards reviewing
>Added to that last with whatever new words I come across in my Russian media input (TV shows or irl conversations mostly)
>Only half way through Teach Yourself Russian after having started it 6 months ago
>Not the fault of the language I just hit a life crisis and stopped as a result, better now though
>Struggling to get back in due to fear of me being rusty grammar wise (even though I use Russian reading/listening every day)
>Been this way for past 4 weeks or so, keep on putting it off

This tracks with my typical weaknesses being reading and speaking when I learnt German. My sister suggested maybe writing a diary so I'm gonna try that once I can force myself to finally dive back into the textbook and learn than rough basic past/present/future.

So do I just have executive dysfunction or does this happen to you guys too?

Also wanted to ask how you guys approach grammar when self studying. Do you like to make a notebook summarizing points in the book? Do you even bother? When I learned German in school I did the former.

As you can tell my Achilles heel is indeed overanalysing!';

It's not language fatigue, but content fatigue. You never get tired of English for example, it's not really a thing. If you really want to get away from consuming media, then the only real alternative that can serve as a rich source of input is real life conversation. You could listen in on two strangers talking, but that's basically a podcast or radio show where you don't have a choice about the topic.

'>>196433357
It's not that hard. You start with small and simple sentences and focus on the meaning. Use lookups and translation tools to fill in the gap of your comprehension. Think of it as training your intuition to extract meaning from gibberish (and later produce it). Yeah, it looks like gibberish at first, but it was made by humans and they all communicate the same things, just in a different way. Maybe it's a different word order and it's backwards, or they put little endings on words that change the meaning in a subtle way, or they just add stuff because that's how they say it over there and it sounds wrong without it, and so on.

Given enough comprehensible sentences, your mind just picks up on the patterns because the form doesn't really matter as long as you understand what it's communicating. Explicit grammar study is just a distraction, you get bogged down on memorizing the conscious rules and patterns and it never really translates to intuition. It's sort of the difference between knowing how to balance a bike by feeling and doing physics calculations of how much weight you need to put on each side in every millisecond and which exact muscles you need in order to end up balancing.';

It's not enough to want to learn a language, it also has to seem viable to you. If you've never gone through the process, you don't have a clear picture of what it entails and at first it might seem like the obstacles are insurmountable, you hear about people spending years doing all kinds of activities that require lots of effort or discomfort, enough that it doesn't seem worth it at all. In order to flip that, you need to demonstrate to yourself that you can make progress with some acceptable amount of effort through direct experience.

The problem is that not all paths are the same, and people usually get hooked on the first thing they try that gives them some amount of progress - like Duolingo. Then in comparison, a textbook or something more "serious" seems rationally better, but experientially, your mind doesn't really know if it's going to pay off or not, why not just continue doing this minimal amount of work, I mean, look at all the sound affects and smiling faces, something is clearly happening, we're going in the right direction.';

Now those were my motivations, about you...
For a person like you, presumably virgin, on 4chan? Good cope.
Just keep it real. Don't get sucked into fads and retarded methods. An autistic person like me actually likes the nitty-gritty of classroom-like studying. Anki, lists, textbooks, apps, it just makes me feel a dopamine high.
Sit, listen and absorb the language by osmosis? (i.e., comprehensible input)? get the fuck outta here
Now, you need to accept 5 things:
>Keep the languages you are going to learn as few as possible.
>Aim for fluency. Don't become a polygl*t who speaks 20 languages at an A1 level. Be B2/C1.
>Accept the commitment. It won't be as fun as in the first day, where you will probably learn how to say Hi, how are you, my name's, etc. Eventually, you're going to be doing mundane grammar work and learn vocabulary you don't like, it's not fun, but when you put the end goal in perspective, you forget about it.
>Choose an internet-popular language. Avoid African languages, Asian languages (maybe dip in them once you're multilingual, they're too complex). Languages you could/should learn:
1. Arabic.
2. French.
3. Spanish.
4. Russian.
5. German.
Anything outside this range should only be pursued out of passion, let's say you like Persian culture, so you learn Farsi, like that.

Language learning plan:
>First 3 months = a structured app/course/textbook to get you to A2 level. One hour a day. Use Anki to save the phrases. Download audio, use forvo, avoid AI and gimmicks.
>3 months later = Use libgen to download the best self-learnable grammar book of your TL. Finish it in 3 months.

You'll have a better time if you do it intensively and pause after every subtitle line, look up words and really try to understand each sentence, which will increase your comprehension to 90-95%.

I watch a lot of my anime subbed in German (including Ferien recently). I found that it really helped me learn more everyday vocab and slang. It also forces you to read quickly. And if you are gonna watch anime anyway, might as well kill two birds with one stone.
Gundam Wing (pic related) was the first one I watched in German a few summers ago, and I did what the serb mentions, namely mining it heavily for vocab. I did that for a while, but nowadays I rarely hit a word in an anime that I don't know, unless I'm watching something set in the distant past or a high-fantasy world where the translators use archaisms to compliment the setting.';
