CURRENT WANIKANI LEVEL: 32

#GOALS
LAST MONTH’S GOAL REPORT:
- KaniWani: I am doing fan-ta-bu-lous. Things have been slow, but now that my burn reviews are picking up steam here on WK, I am having a nice steady stream of reviews.
- Anki: I was doing great on this. Then, suddenly, out of the blue, I lost steam. I got the train moving again earlier this week, but I’m a little worried since I don’t know exactly why I suddenly stopped in the first place. So, I’m further behind on my progress than I was hoping, but at least I’m still making progress at all.
- Intermediate Textbook: I just got my Anki deck up and running for this.
- Udemy N3: Ha. Haha. Yeah, I didn’t get to this at all, really. Huge disappointment on my part, but fingers crossed for this upcoming month…?
- Memrise: Done with for now. I finished the N4 deck, and I’ve been keeping reviews down. I’m doing enough vocab learning from my textbooks and Anki for now, so I’m going to drop this from my list for the next month, probably.
THIS MONTH’S GOAL:
- KaniWani: Keep doin’ great.
- Anki: Just keep going at all.
- Intermediate Textbook: First of all, I need to go back and organize my notes. Figure out what I know, what I sorta know, and what I don’t know. Get everything hammered down pat. Also, while I start chugging along through this book’s Anki deck, I’ll start making another pile of vocab cards (+audio! :D) from my Modern Japanese textbook.
- Udemy N3: Yeah…gotta start this again. At the very least, I’ll use it for listening practice?
- For a fun (read: painful) challenge for myself, I think I’d like to start writing a bit in Japanese. Maybe do a daily-weekly diary entry and post the result to HelloTalk or something for people to make corrections. As an added bonus, I could also submit an audio recording of the (corrected) entry to make sure my pronunciation is okay and also to get in at least that much speaking per day/week (leaning towards the weekly version).
