つづく is the intransitive (self-moving) way of "to continue". It targets the subject rather than the object. In japanese there's always a difference between saying things like "(I) continue the projects" in the transitive variant vs "The projects continue.", which in the last case is where you would use the intransitive つづく instead of the transitive つづける. The important difference here in the way english uses this concept is that english uses always the same verb "to continue" and puts it into a different relation to subject or object (I continue vs It continues) while Japanese *does not* use the same verb. hope this didn't cause confusion in such relatively early stage of yours, but if it did just ignore
@@wbgjp if you ever feel too confused about grammar or all those quite complicated seeming ways of very infamous topics like "は vs が", "transitive vs intransitive" or even in general any grammar- and structure-related Japanese content, then I cannot recommend enough a learning channel called 'Cure Dolly' who teaches Japanese the most straightforward way without messing around the bush. At first one might get a bit confused and maybe annoyed by the scratchy voice she's using but behind this one small drawback unironically lies a true mastermind in pedagogics that's rarely to be seen nowadays where everybody is a self-claimed wannabe prof. She helped me and many others getting the right focus from the get-go - and no I'm not a paid promoter or so but just a self-studying one
Tip: Listen to japanese everyday if you can and especially do N5 speaking practice (shadowing) to get much better pronounciation and become more confident when speaking :)
Bro If you want to learn japanese just use textbooks. In my opinion the best books are genki (Levels N5 - N4) Quartet (N3 - N2) minna no nihongo (N5 - N2) nihongo somatoume or N? Try.
Good luck on your learning. I think what you have to work on the most right now is the pronunciation. For example you pronounce the "a" sound like you would in english, which in japanese sounds a lot like an "o". So when you said かわいい (cute) it felt like you were saying こわい (scary). Maybe try to focus a bit on listening and shadowing that might help. これからも頑張ってください (kore kara mo ganbatte kudasai | please keep up the good work)
