Data-driven results: Fixing particles using real context

I spent the last month testing if rote drills or real reading worked better for particle mastery. Textbook examples often felt like an unattainable 理想, but switching to raw news articles for particle 補強 showed a clear 25% increase in my accuracy during output. Seeing how particles behave in the wild made a huge difference. Has anyone else measured their progress this way, or do you find drills more effective?
