日本語学生 – "Never stop learning."

I had a memorable first (full) day yesterday.  I met a new friend and we went to Kamakura and Enoshima. I believe the first place went to was Myohonji temple and then we went to Enoshima Island.  On the way to Enoshima Island we stopped for a meal since we were hungry and have been […]

On the plane to Japan, I realized the a lot of my Netflix downloads for a few shows failed.  I ended up rewatching a couple episodes of Terrace house, a Japanese movie called Sakura Guardian in the North from the in-flight entertainment, and an english movie – that for some reason I can’t remember the […]

I hit level 5 on wanikani exactly a week ago today.  I’ve been thinking about different things to post.  Last week was an insanely busy week as I went out of town for work.  Followed by a company party during the weekend.  I think I’ll start telling folks in Japan (like my teachers) about this […]

Finally, hit level 4 on wanikani today!  Sheesh. That one took a while.

Welp, it’s Monday.  I didn’t get much studying done.  The other class that I’m taking consumed most of my time during the weekend.  I’m still on level 3 in wanikani but am just about to bust through to level 4.  I still attend my weekly Japanese classes along with 8-10 hours of lessons online each […]

The month of January isn’t over yet.  I’ve taken around 42 lessons, each with a 30-60 minute duration.  I still wani kani daily but not obsessively.  I’m still on level 3.  I have a few things I’m juggling at the moment but I’ll check in with more progress at the end of this weekend.

I have one main teacher in Japan who I meet online regularly  I’ve met a few teachers online and sometimes the teaching style is not the greatest match.  However, the chances are slim that you will find one where you won’t enjoy learning from if you truly want to learn the subject you are studying. […]

That’s the name of the playlist I literally just started listening to.  I needed something relaxing before posting. Welp, I’m trucking along with lessons and what not.  I log on to wanikani probably 5-6 times a day.  I wake up and wanikani and wanikani before I go to sleep.  I also fired up memrise once […]

While I learned the meanings for around 90 kanji for the JLPT N5 test, I don’t have a good grasp on the (on yomi, kun yomi) readings.  Before the test, mainly in November I was studying on average of 3 hours a day.  With the holidays it’s probably been about 30 minutes since I’ve been […]
