    Negativity? What do you mean? Everyone here is so nice (you know, when they open their mouths). Or did I totally miss your point?

    When you add 20 new ones every day, I don’t find it surprising that you get overwhelmed. That’s a lot of new information, so remembering it all requires a really good technique and a great brain.
    I would suggest you to pace down.

    Well, I feel speechless too. Thank you for your responses to my thoughts. I’m sorry about going a little off-topic now but… I didn’t expect it would mean so much to you. I’m in a hard time at the moment (it’s too personal to tell what it is), and hearing someone sincerely thanking me feels really nice. It’s among the best thing that have happened to me for weeks now, it feel like an eternity.
    Even though the TF forum is a little more quiet than the WK forum, the active people here are mainly very kind people.

    Let me go back on the rail again (I hope this metaphor makes sense in English).
    Yes comparing to others can be extremely delaying. E.g. I’ve always been incredible bad at English. Ever since 4th year at school (I think) when I got my first English class, until my last English class in the middle of (what I think is) equal to the American high school. Being in a class hold me back because I constantly compared myself to the other students. After my last class I began to use it more and more without thinking of what my level was. I know my English is far from perfect but now I feel much more comfortable with using it.
    Just to explain how important “not comparing” is.

    ADDED: Oh, and if you want to get in touch with me John Doe, you can contact me on this temporary mail I’ve made khmg9194-usikker@yahoo.dk. I don’t really dare telling my private mail on a public place.

    We love you too (I assume I’m one of the guys).

    I also have experienced that. The first thing I did was changing my 考え方 about all the things that piled up. I will not explain what I did exactly because I found out later it was just self-destructing.
    The second thing I did (I will recommend you to do this) was slowing a little down where I could, just don’t stop. It’s vital not to stop. You could e.g. focus mainly on getting control of you anki decks, or WaniKani if you still use that (yes, I remember you from WK). My way of slowing down might not be your best way. So, just find a way to slow down temporary.

    Actually, I got a special present, just for you, this video.

    Yes it’s pretty awesome isn’t it. I’ve had a couple of those dreams too. Not dreams about your fathers old home or Professor Snape, but dreams about speaking to someone in Japanese.

    There’s actually a topic about Japanese dreams here on TF. Here it is.

    Okay. Thank you.

    Thank you, generally it makes more sense to me now.

    However, there’s still a bit in it I don’t understand.

    Why should 悲しい be changed to an adverb at all. Doesn’t it mean “sadly to make me do”? Isn’t this how adverbs work? I just used the Xになる pattern, to say “to become X”.

    I didn’t see they both wrote exactly the same correction brfore now. It wasn’t a copy/paste error.

    Okay. This thread has been sleeping for 3 months, and now I’ll wake it up with a question.

    I wanted to write this on Lang-8 (Japanese of course):
    “This year I want to hear less news than last year because I’ve realized that they make me feel sad.”

    I wrote:
    「ニュースは私を悲しいになるの見出したから、新年は、去年未満ニュースを聞きたい。」

    It was corrected to:
    「去年、ニュースは私を悲しくさせるものばかりであるとわかったので、新年は去年よりもニュースを聞きたくない。」

    And another one corrected it to:
    「去年、ニュースは私を悲しくさせるものばかりであるとわかったので、新年は去年よりもニュースを聞きたくない」

    I don’t really understand the correction. Can someone help me breaking it down?

    Either you are learning incredible fast or it have taken you incredible long time to pull yourself together and write an introduction.
    Well Python is funny and a great way to enter the world of programming. And it’s nice to meet an artist. They are always so awesome.

    I can’t imagine that Koichi is going to let it come soon.
    I would write a lang-8 using what I’ve learned doing the season, and then just continue to the next page.

    ?.. Now I can’t keep up. It should be pretty logical but I’m unsure. Are you sarcastic, Joel?

    Well when you’re right, you’re right – I only typed it instead of actually saying it out loud. You caught me.

    Yes I did catch you, now I feel much better about myself. I thought you were as odd as me. That would be hard for me to accept. But let’s stop talking about us, let’s talk about what this thread is intended to be about; welcoming our new fellow Textfugutarian Roxane.

    Hearty ようこそ to Hungary!
    You sounds like a very nice person.
    A tip. Work hard but not so hard that you begin to find you Japanese-learning-journey being exhausting. Then there’s no fun anymore. We all no that learning Japanese is fun, but without fun it’s just not funny to learn Japanese. So, briefly, don’t burn you brain, unless that’s what you like. If that’s the case then do it. Then you’ll learn Japanese while you burn your brain, which is a double-win-situation.
    Now I don’t want bother you more with my stupidness.
    幸運を祈ります。
