i am studying german and while most say it's a hard language (it is for most) i simply find it easy to understand, just need to put in the effort for it and use repetition system for things that one simply has to memorize (looking at you partizip 2)
but i am really starting to hate the studying, not the language, not the class, the studying itself.
at first i loved it, it was fun, i was understanding ezpz things are good. but as i went in, i started to hate it and i can't figure out why so here's what i do.
we use menschen, the teacher teaches us grammar, communication, some listening and that's it. so what i do is, i see what i have in my notebook, give it a read to understand everything and remember it (takes about 15 to 30 mins) and then i jump to the main course book and do on my own what the teacher didn't do which could take about an hour and then finally the workbook which takes about 1 to 2 hours depending on how much i understand.
this is dreadful. once i am done i simply do not have time to memorize words and their articles so i just make do with what just sticks in my brain (surprisingly more than i thought would do, i have a horrible memory)
i take two classes a week but the thing is, at first i used to study between each day then i fell to only one day and now sometimes i don't even study except before the class with a few hours ( i know how bad this is).
the reason for that is that i physically DREAD the studying. i DREAD opening the books, i literally feel the physical pain. i am top of my class, i enjoy the language and i truly enjoy all of this AND YET i feel like i hate it everytime i open the books now unlike before when i loved doing it.
how do i deal with this? is this mismanagement of studying or simply overburning? i have never been an academically smart guy so whatever may seem obvious to some may be oblivious to me so any tips are appreciated!
extra information if it matters:
my main language is arabic, my course days are sunday and Wednesday.
and it does feel like it would be nice to have a class or two be skipped so i can rest my head and catch up to things i missed.
