Hi, I'm new here

Hello hello! Im new to reddit, I've heard its a great place to interact with people in different niches and stuff. I've been LOVING this community omg.

I've been studying Japanese for the last 13 years, and I have been living in Japan for 7 years (gosh, writing it out makes me realize how insane that is).

What are some things you're struggling with when it comes to Japanese? Speaking? Listening?

Mine is vocabulary. While I do have an extensive vocabulary, I find that my confidence is lacking, and that is hindering my ability to actually use different vocabulary I've learned in conversations.... It's so upsetting cause I've memorized a lot of difficult words yet I just don't have the confidence to actually say them lol I think its cause I need more exposure/context to the words so I can grasp the full picture.

Anyways, よろしくお願いします！
