To welcome the new year, I’m trying something I’ve wanted to do for a while now.
STUDY LOG!! やったー！ 
Not exactly sure what to put in study logs or how to format them but here we go! I’m also not familiar with Bunpro’s formatting so excuse the messiness.
Quick Background: I’ve been studying Japanese for 3 years now. 2 years in a classroom and 1 year of self-study. I studied abroad in Japan for 3 weeks in May 2024. I’m not sure what my Japanese level would be, but I’d have to say lower intermediate. I can understand most N5-N4 things. Slow speaking speed is okay for me.
Beginning of 2025 stats
January Goals
- Finish N5 grammar 108/126
currently reviewing and not learning new things because I’m struggling a bit with getting some grammar points down - Finish reading よつばと１
reading chapter 3 and embracing a lot of ambiguity but the pictures help me understand the context - Write something every day!
I bought a little 2025 diary when I went to Kinyoukunia so I’m writing about my days in it - Mine 20 words a week on Migaku
When I don’t feel like studying, watching YouTube or listening to podcasts is a fun way to get around my laziness
February Goals
- Add N4 to study queue if haven’t already 14/177
- Start reading よつばと２
- Continuing writing every day
- Continuing mining words
That’s as far as I’ve thought ahead… anyways
Long-Term Goals 2025 (Semi-Language Related)
- Get accepted to TUJ
- Go back/Move to Japan
- Hold conversation without using English and have more confidence
I’m not exactly sure how I go about updating this log but I’ll figure it out. Most likely monthly updates. Honestly, this is to hold myself accountable on online forums. Thanks for reading and I’ll see you again soon!
Let’s study hard together this year! 一緒にがんばろうー
