It’s been 20 days since I took the JLPT N4 test and stopped studying EVERY day. It’s great to teak a break but now I’m back. I have studied since but probaby only 1-2 hours a week for the past 3 weeks or so. I was almost at level 11 wanikani, at 70% but then stopped now I have over 500 reviews. wah.
Saturday Night Cramming
I’m listening to this artist called stick figure while studying tonight. Practicing listening and kanji today.
Side note: I need to edit my videos from Japan earlier this year and post them.
Haven’t forgotten
Still studying a lot. This weekend I:
- Practiced some listening drills.
- Also listened then wrote down translations.
- Practice causative forms. Also along with Genki chapter 22
- Memrise
- Reviewed some older lessons.
Need to review lessons from Japanese by Hanako. (https://www.japanesebyhanako.com/)
Enter more cards into Anki.

Life happens. I didn’t spend all day studying as much as I’d like. Which I think is a good thing. It’s easy for me to lock myself indoors all day and be in front of a computer or a book.
Touched on causative forms today, and some grammar review. Reviewed some notes and one lesson. I’m practicing some kanji now and I think this will be a routine now at night since it’s kinda soothing and a good way for me to unwind.
Countdown to 12/2
I wanted to get out a blog post yesterday declaring I reached WaniKani level 10. In addition, I wanted to blog every day in the month of November since I’ve started my one month countdown to December 2nd. However, I didn’t get to WaniKani level 10 until today. December 2nd is the day I tackle the JLPT N4 test. At the moment, my confidence is low. I need to cram big time.
So many things have happened this year that has kept me really busy.
- I’ve gone to Japan twice. Once in April and another time in July.
- I sold my house and moved.
- I’m about to purchase another place. Thankfully, I’m not moving right away.
- I’m taken on a lot more responsibility at work.
So here we go. I’m watching a countdown episode on youtube and drinking a redbull before I start tonight’s cram session. It’s Friday night. This is what every night will be like until December 2nd.
Reviews and reviews
I sat down one or twice over the weekend and on Monday to go through my wanikani reviews. I got down to 150 yesterday and am now back to 201 that need to be completed. Up to my waist in reviews lol.
I took out a couple of my N4 books yesterday to start going through them.
Also, more reviews of my notes I’ve been taking over the past year!!
It’s here. N4 exam cram time!
すごい
すごい.
Because so much has happened since my last post.
Like, I went back to Japan again! I also got stuck in Hiroshima in July during the severe flooding.
I’m almost to level 10 wanikani and I’m also studying for the N4 test. It’s been a week since I’ve logged into wanikani and now I have a whopping 410 reviews to do. I’m sure, as I progress, it will be even worse if I don’t log in every day.
I’ll start blogging more real soon. Weekly progress updates, etc.
