Okay, why not?
I restarted today after getting a little headway into N3, which I was pretty proud of. But after doing some hundreds of reviews and missing an uncomfortable amount, I decided it was best to just start from 0. It’s something I do a lot and want to stop doing, but I figured I had the time to do this before the N4 this year. I took too long of a break, unfortunately, but I’m back and planning to stick around until I complete N1 grammar and vocab. I really enjoy using Bunpro, and have for a long time, and it’ll be a cool achievement to finally complete all the material.
I don’t often set a real goal for myself when it comes to Japanese. Not one that sticks anyway. I just know I want to pass the N1, and just generally be comfortable consuming media in the language. I decided today though that being able to play Pokemon Black/White in Japanese is a goal of mine. I haven’t beaten it in English yet, but that’s not necessarily a requirement.
My daily goal is 5 grammar topics and 25 vocab words a day until I complete all the N4 material. I don’t plan to take days off, if I can help it. I’m also doing Migaku’s Japanese courses alongside this, but I plan to prioritize Bunpro.
I don’t know how often I’ll update this, but I’ll try to at least when I’ve hit certain milestones. A quarter of the way through N5, halfway through, when I hit N4, etc. Maybe I’ll have things come up that I want to jot down along the way. We’ll see. If you have any questions/comments, feel free to leave them here.
Thanks for reading!
