And, I'm not really asking you for resources.

I was just asking if you had any tips for motivating oneself, since I want to add another language to my list of skills (other than American Sign Language (which is considered a foreign language)).

When you started learning Japanese (hiragana, katakana, and kanji), what kept you motivated? What spurred your growth? What made you not think "this isn't worth it"?

I'd like to know so I can work on improving myself and my skills, since I'm a huge slacker when it comes to learning [new, daunting] things. And Japanese... looks very daunting. (^_^")

But you can read most (if not all) hiragana/katakana and even some (or most) kanji!

How did you manage to do it?

I know you've been studying for many years.... so I thought that..... maybe you could give me some tips.
