I haven't posted on Journaly for about two weeks. What I was doing during that time was listening to some English podcasts and developing my vocabulary using the Anki app. I posted some text on HelloTalk, but these texts were elementary and short, so I don't know that they helped me learn English.

Writing English takes a lot of time. I have difficulty writing, especially after working, and I often end up escaping to listening. Whereas listening is so easy. I understand in my head that only passive studies like reading and listening are not enough and active ones like speaking and writing are necessary to learn languages. After writing about my thought like this post, I notice my terrible mistakes and tendency, which improve my skills extremely every time.

Why I don't like active stydies is obvious. That's because my motivation to learn English is that English gives me accessibility to tons of information. I've heard that the amount of English content on the internet is ten times more than the Japanese one. Honestly speaking, I hope I would enjoy English contents, but I don't hope I would speak or write English. This is a bad idea to have from the point of view of learning.

I might need something that makes me want to master writing and speaking English, but I haven't found it yet.
