I created this study log to share my experiences and document my ongoing journey of learning Japanese. Before starting this log, I completed both the A1 and A2 Japanese courses on Busuu, where I learned around 600 vocabulary words, fundamental grammar, and approximately 100 kanji. With this foundation already in place, I wanted a dedicated space to track my progress more intentionally, reflect on my development, and stay motivated as I continue working toward improving my Japanese step by step.
I would also be very happy to connect with others—whether through questions, conversations, or even finding potential study partners.
I plan to update this post once a month, so feel free to join me on this journey!
