I always hear when looking for help that people learn 10+ words a day. I would love to be able to but I don’t get how you memorise so many words in just a day, then go and learn 10 new ones the next. Am I doing something wrong or do I simply need to spend more time?
I hear a lot of talk about Renshuu being good for grammar and vocab but is it just me who feels that it’s a bit too loose? I think that the fact that it’s so free and doesn’t “hold your hand” like Duo is for some reason slowing my learning. I think I average 4 words every few days. Is it just me who thinks this??
I’m honestly at my fucking limit with my hair and need advice.
I have thick 4C, low-porosity hair. My hair gets dry very easily and tangles a lot.
Over the last couple of weeks I’ve tried properly taking care of it. I bought Mielle deep conditioner and As I Am leave-in conditioner. I’ve been using the leave-in regularly and deep conditioning after washing.
The problem is that my hair still feels bone dry within a couple of hours. Not “less slippery than before” dry - genuinely rough, dry, and brittle-feeling.
It even fucking feels rough when it’s wet. If I spray it with water, it doesn’t suddenly feel moisturised or soft. It still feels rough and takes at least 10 minutes to soak.
I shampooed my hair two days ago, so I don’t think it’s because I haven’t washed it recently.
I don’t use heat, bleach, relaxers, or dye.
Has anyone with 4C low-porosity hair dealt with this? Could this be product buildup, hard water, damage, or are these products just not working for my hair?
Any advice would be appreciated because right now it feels like nothing I’m doing is making any difference. Ps, sorry for the language, just really frustrated tbh

If I’m not wrong, conditioner helps your hair to keep in moisture or something like that. Shampoo on the other hand, completely undoes that by stripping your hair of natural oils. Since it does that, doesn’t that mean you can’t make any actual progress using conditioner because you just reset the state of your hair every week, especially for someone with dry hair like me
I’ve been learning Japanese on Duolingo for about two months and the kana on Renshuu for like a week (late, I know), but I don’t agree with duo’s method of teaching as it doesn’t explain very well. So for fellow learners, which good apps do you use for kana and language
I’m using lingodeer to learn Japanese and I’m absolutely aware that I can’t even learn conversational level on an app. I’m planning to use Italki to improve but I don’t want to do a lesson and look like a dumbass and embarrass myself. At which point do you think I should start taking lessons?
I’ve been using Duolingo for about 3 months and it’s been going okay… I think. Anyway, I’ve heard a lot of people talking about how Duolingo isn’t a good app for learning Japanese language but I don’t really want to change as I can’t find any others that are genuinely good. So can I actually learn Japanese from Duolingo (at least the basics) or if not, which other apps that don’t cost £200 for a week would you recommend?
I'm currently learning Japanese off of Duolingo as an English speaker. From others who have learned the language, what is the best advice for learning fluency and the writing system?
I’m learning Japanese at the moment but I don’t understand asking questions at the moment. I know you use か at the end of a question but to the person listening, do you have to wait until the end of the sentence to know that it’s a question?
