Based on Duolingo, I'm N3 (lies), and MaruMori/other apps I'm N5. I have seen all vocab for N5 and have about 300 mastered words out of the 1000 or so words. I still to this day keep forgetting katakana just because it's not very common in loan words I'm given on the MM path. I could honestly make do with a proper course as well, you're probably right about that. I haven't really looked into group activities for Japanese, but now that you mention it, it would be a good idea to help get my foot further in the door.

Also I can't seem to see your comment on my Lemmy instance for some reason, but I can get the reply for some reason in PMs?
What's that about?

Yeah, just one of those things that'll take practice. I'm approaching N2 level and something like the original Legend of Zelda or robot speech is still brutally slow for me because I'm just not used to seeing full sentences with katakana.

And dunno, sometimes there's hiccups with content federating properly.
