• Lately, I’ve been noticing that when I write something in Japanese, I often think to myself, “Hmm, something seems off in terms of Japanese style.” This happens on platforms like Scrapbox, Twitter, and messaging apps.
  • I wonder why that is.
  • Hypotheses:
    • Perhaps my language proficiency has declined because I’m not exposed to as much Japanese anymore. Although I still encounter Japanese a lot on the internet, I have reduced exposure in school and daily life. However, I don’t feel like there has been a significant change.
    • On the contrary, my language proficiency may have improved, and I’ve become more aware of when something sounds off in Japanese. I would prefer it to be this way (blu3mo).
  • Well, since feeling a sense of discomfort indicates that there is a feedback loop, there doesn’t seem to be a need to be pessimistic.
  • Combined with my thoughts on Feeling Like My Memory is Declining 20230302, I’ve been thinking that I’ve been getting a bit dumber lately.
