#PROGRESS POST #: 6

#WANIKANI  
CURRENT WANIKANI LEVEL: 59

IN ONE MONTH I HOPE TO BE LEVEL… 60 (Not reset yet); Level 65 in [BeyondWK](https://community.wanikani.com/t/Kanji-beyond-WaniKani-esp-%E5%B8%B8%E7%94%A8-and-%E4%BA%BA%E5%90%8D%E7%94%A8-plus-more-Spreadsheet-and-Anki/17343)

#GOALS

LAST MONTH’S GOAL REPORT:  
[#5 June 2017](https://community.wanikani.com/t/%E6%96%B0-Monthly-Progress-Challenge/16977/31)

- ~~N4 Grammar, maybe via Genki 2, then back to 新完全マスターN4 … then Tobira, then step up all the way to N3-N2, or perhaps N1~~ 😅 I did Tae Kim Advanced Topics instead.
- Keep WaniKani parameters

- Apprentice \< 250 ✅
- Lessons \< 100 😅 Sometimes
- Reviews \< 500 ❌ Still within 500-100
- Always try to finish respective Anki level before leveling up in WaniKani ✅ あたりまえなこと！

THIS MONTH’S GOAL

- N4 Grammar via 新完全マスターN4. I’ll figure out a way to drill it in Anki… and improve test score.
- Finish Tae Kim Advanced Topic sentences, mainly via listening
- Finish Erin’s Challenge Chapter 5, maybe roughly 1 chapter per week.
- Stay Level 60, resist the urge to reset
- Keep WaniKani parameters

- Apprentice \< 100 (might not really be zero, due to leeches)
- Guru \< 1000
- Guru \< Enlightened
- Zero Lessons
- Reviews \< 500

#JAPANESE ABILITY

CURRENT JAPANESE WEAKNESS:

- Everything, though, reading is probably the strongest area
- Focusing on reading and listening AKA passive skills

HOW I WILL IMPROVE ABOVE:

- Grammar exams, JLPT levels-wise
- Finish Tae Kim properly
- Improve my ears
- Appropriately and adequately use a dictionary
- Learn and use pitch accent

#HELPING OTHERS

TIP/ADVICE FOR LEARNING JAPANESE:

- Keep Apprentice Pile low (in WaniKani)
- Improve grammar!
- Listen a lot. Pronounce properly!
- Try chatting in Japanese. It isn’t so hard (nor it is too easy).
