as someone who speaks just enough Japanese to easily get around the country as a tourist, is there a point where it becomes comfortable to just speak and understand, vs reading or filling out forms? I also have memory problems due to an autoimmune disease so straight up memorizing kanji is right out, it's a crapshoot what will stick vs what my brain can't grasp, but speaking feels more comfortable so long as I get my participles right. Still working on ni versus de and wa versus ga but the spirit is there and the verbs are right.
