PROGRESS POST #5:
3.8.2018 (first one-month-period after coming back to WK and the monthly challenges)

:bird: WANIKANI

CURRENT WANIKANI LEVEL: 29

IN ONE MONTH I HOPE TO BE LEVEL… 30

:bird: PROGRESS REPORT:
Previous report: Progress post 4

  1. Level goal: Reach level 29 :white_check_mark:
  2. Grammar: Diligent study of upper-mid Japanese class material :x:
    –> final exam target: > 89/100 (mid-term result: 75/100) :x:
    :grey_exclamation: Failed to even attend the final exam.
  3. 外大の日本語5 material onward independently (but no specific chapter goal) :ballot_box_with_check:
  4. Kanji : WaniKani review queue down to “natural” level -eg. no accumulated reviews due to prolonged absence. :x:
    :grey_exclamation: Still at around 600
  5. Reading : NHK news, Yahoo News, articles… not interesting. :ballot_box_with_check:
    –> actually short 小説, as found in here , for example.
    :grey_exclamation: Kind of compeleted! Been reading random articles as I stumble across them, on top of hoarding novels from Book-off. No internet short stories on the “completed” list.
  6. Vocabulary: Pick up new words diligently from read materials and REVIEW!
    (use memrise to create private course for the new vocab?) :x:

What happened:
So I THOUGHT I would be able to invest in Japanese studies, since I finally cleared all my deadlines. How wrong I was! After a week or so of blissfully slowly paced life, I was attacked by a second wave of tasks, deadlines and supervisors breathing down my neck waiting for results.

:bird: THIS MONTH’S GOALS:

  1. Grammar + vocab - 外大の日本語5 material onward independently (but no specific chapter goal)
  2. Kanji : WaniKani review queue down to “natural” level -eg. no accumulated reviews due to prolonged absence - second try.

This month will be consumed with fieldwork preparations and all things related, so I have no way of putting effort into rigorous Japanese studies. Still need to at least maintain, so still some goals to strive for this time, too.
