I like learning languages, i know german, but i want to keep going! So i decided Japanese because its a very cool place and i would love to visit some day but sometimes i look at my lesson and think “bleh i don’t feel like it” How do i motivate myself to do it without making it feel like a chore?
If a lesson gets the "I don't feel like it" reaction, then there's probably something wrong with it. Too many new terms, too many questions, too many schedules, uninteresting words, and so on.
I'd advise you to look at your schedules critically and figure out what exactly about them makes you demotivated. And then remove it by changing settings
Daily lessons should be fun and easy enough that you'll be able to do them when sick and with a high fever. Anything above that you can do on your good days, but for consistency's sake, the bare minimum should be just that--minimum.
I can only tell you what motivates me. I watched Secret of the silent witch. Since the anime isn‘t finished, I read the light novel. Until I found out that not everything is tranlated to english, much less german yet. I do not want to wait years for the translation so that I can finish reading it. It will be faster to „just“ learn reading japanese.
