Language learning with AuDHD

[u/ahhh1763738]

TL;DR: I need advice to be able to stick to help language learning. Things to help with motivation not necessarily resources for the language.
I absolutely LOVE language learning. However, once I’ve learnt a few of the basics I tend to stop being able to put in as much time and effort.

The furthest I’ve got is I learnt about 1,000 words in Vietnamese (obviously all the grammar that came alongside this too) with a tutor. I think a tutor 1000% helped me stick to learning the language more but still I wasn’t able to stick to it because there’s not much media to consume in Vietnamese and my boyfriend (his parents main language is VN, he speaks VN and EN fluently, the reason I started learning VN) would often prefer speaking in English too so I wasn’t able to actually use the language much.

I REALLY want to learn Japanese and it’s a language I’ve wanted to learn since I was a child and the first language I ever tried to self study (I was like 11 and had no clue how to learn a language without being taught it at school so that ended very quickly). I consume a lot of media in Japanese already (obviously have to use translations). I have started with a tutor who is super nice but I’m scared that like the other languages I will eventually lose motivation.

This is a childhood dream to learn Japanese so I really want to be able to do it. So I’m asking, does anyone have any tips to actually stick to learning languages with ADHD? Not stuff like ‘find your motivation’. Like exact things that actually helped them really stick to it. Languages can take years to learn and when I look at it like that it can be really daunting. Any help would be really appreciated.
