/jp/ - Otaku Culture

thanks to the anons that told me to stop writing stuff the other day until I got a 'feel' for when I was wrong. I actually found a similar sentiment at the start of the tae kim guide, which I've gone to since imabi was getting a little hard to understand

"if you don’t know how to say it already, then you don’t know how to say it. Instead, if you can, ask someone how to say it in Japanese including a full explanation of the answer and start practicing from Japanese. Language is not a math problem; you don’t have to figure out the answer. If you practice from the answer, you will develop good habits that will help you formulate correct and natural Japanese sentences."

(I like tae kim's practice questions since that's still more interactive than just reading or learning / studying vocabulary.)

Should imabi be this hard or am I just stupid / missing something?
