11-14-20 Update

I’ve been grinding rly hard for this past week.

- watching my missed lectures + taking notes

- re-memorizing rusty kana

- studying rusty vocabulary

- learning 5+ new words a day

- I started a notebook that is entirely dedicated to my Japanese studies

- created a study schedule (which seems like it will be a game changer for me, but we’ll see! I’ll share my current schedule and let you guys know how it works out.)

Breakthroughs

- I finally formed a sentence that actually expressed what I wanted to say!! (It went something like… 私は日本語の本があります。。。今日はこれを読みます。I then read like one paragraph out loud to the camera and posted it to my snapchat! lol)

- developed a new notebook system for studying vocabulary that seems to work really well

FuturePlans

- I have soooo many posts coming your way (vocab, grammar, study methods, shoutouts) so stay tuned

- I plan to take my giant wall of sticky note vocabulary down and redo it with new words soon!

- I may or may not be starting a blog (rebelpicnic.com) even though I have no idea what it’s about, I know for a fact that I will be posting about my Japanese learning journey there as well! It’s not open yet but beware it will probably be about a lot of things before I can make up my mind Cx

Goals and Aspirations

- maybe someday I can write diary entrees in Japanese. I would love it if I could find a native speaker to critique them!

- I can’t wait to confuse my friends and family :,3

- the glorious fluency will feel so good rolling off of my tongue (cringe explanation) :,,,333

- understanding Japanese media? um? yes?

- flexing on ppl constantly?

Current Weekly Schedule

I’m currently doing a vocabulary challenge, so vocab is 毎日！(まいにち)(Every day!)

火曜日(かようび) Tuesday

A side note that I do take a class for Japanese so I have homework too. This is just what I will be doing on top of my classwork. I may even do more, but I consider this schedule the bare minimum/requirement. It basically helps to guarantee that I’m studying everything with some level of proportion!
