It happened to me with japanese raws, I was so proud of myself when I got to understand a marriage proposal or a declaration x)
Oh i feel you both, i'm way more advanced on japanese though BUT NOW I CAN *almost* READ JAPANESE RAWS ON MY OWN
AND THAT FRIGGING ROCKS
so keep reading!!
i wish I could *almost* read, I can read stuff here an there in raws when there are furiganas or when it's a kanji I've miraculously memorised x)
Well we all start like that XD
The kanji part is so relatable like "i didn't know i knew that kanji!" XD
the way that i’ve been practicing my korean by being forced to read the raws lmaoo i only understand some words and phrases, but i feel like my vocabulary has been improving
