I am currently trying relearn some vocabulary in German because I forgot to learn the definitive articles with the words themselves.

Bit of a confidence drop this week as I struggled with the newest chapter in my textbook. Unusually difficult for recent pace. I'm still making progress though, which is the important thing.

Growing concern over my listening comprehension problem. My new cards in Anki are solidly i+1, but I'm not getting there on audio with them (and even occasionally on repeats). Audio for the passages in the textbook without reading along? Forget it. As I've continued to incorporate more listening materials in general, I don't know that it's simply a "listen more" problem, which was the mindset. I think I'm going to find an ADHD community or two and ask some questions about active listening struggles in adult education, particularly for language learning. See if I can find an adaptation or two. I'm still new to the diagnosis and have a lot to learn.

I was already planning on pausing after this chapter of the text is done and doing a dedicated grammar review on forms I've logged as giving me trouble the past couple months. Since I'm a little more than halfway through, it's a good time for a "midterm"-type review. Maybe it would be good to pair that with some listening drills with a new method.
