[CORIAN'S STUDY LOG V2] Study log or self-punishment for lack of accountability? So yea, hi. Welcome on in since I’m sharing this with the public. I have a long, unsuccessful history with learning Japanese so why not show everyone why that is. :upside_down_face: ▶ For why? ▶ Goals ▶ Plan ▶ Supplemen…

Good luck with your preparations. I’m interested in your timing (as well as where you are intending to go to language school and for how long) - in that I also have a goal of someday going to Japan to study the language (and experience living in Japan instead of the short visits that I’ve done in t…

Best of luck! I think having a lot of resources is a good plan cause you’ll want to be propelling yourself forward and not getting too comfortable at any particular level, so I like your plan here. Just don’t feel too tied to something – that’s quite a bit of textbook use for example, and if you get…

@Akashelia Thanks and I made it because I’m currently procrastinating getting stuff done for work ^__^; Don’t think I’ll be up for Quartet next month. I have to refresh through N5 and N4 first :face_with_spiral_eyes: @servette I need a lot of prep. Currently applying to language school for an Apri…

I agree with all of @Daisoujou 's recommandations :slight_smile: especially the book clubs and Satori reader. The list of books you posted, is it real books you own? If you choose to read digitally however, I can’t recommend enough Mokuro , it enabled be to start reading native material way earlier …

Yea they’re all ones I own already. Some I’ve had for 5 years now and some I’ve picked up on trips to Book Off NYC over the past year or so. Definitely want to get through them. After I’m thinking of getting a Kindle and opening up a Japanese Amazon account so I can get more books through it.

[image] thecorian: Yea they’re all ones I own already. Some I’ve had for 5 years now and some I’ve picked up on trips to Book Off NYC over the past year or so. That’s similar to my own situation - I’ve been to Book Off NYC several times (I used to live in NYC, but no longer) - and I have book…

[image] thecorian: In the past I tried translating the books, but now I’m just reading them to read them and logging the words I don’t know into a custom list on the Japanese App. Definitely a good way to go. My personal path was essentially just grinding through N5 and N4, then with Satori R…

Oh that’s something to think about! I’m more into novels but maybe I can Jimmyrig something together with Mokuro? When I go to Japan though I might just make frequent bookstore stops so maybe I’ll avoid diving into it until after I finish what I have :person_shrugging: @servette I know the feeling!…
