Gollorien's Study Log

Japanese Language Study Logs (Public)
1

I started my Japanese journey in college but I didn’t really take it as seriously as I wish I would have. It wasn’t my major (or my career path), and I didn’t really look much into resources (like WaniKani) or even things like the JLPT until way after I graduated.

I started getting back into studying a year ago or so, and I go through phases of high and low motivation. I’m starting this study log to keep myself focused. My goal: passing JLPT N3 in December 2025!

Daily Goals
  • Complete WaniKani reviews
  • Complete reviews for my custom Anki deck
  • At least 2 page of reading (or re-reading) any material
    Starting: 2025-06-26T06:00:00Z
Week Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday Saturday Sunday
June 23-29
June 30- July 6
July 7- July 13
Long Term Goals
  • Pass N3 of course!
  • I’d like to improve my vocabulary more. I don’t have a hard time understanding usually, but trying to chat about more complex topics than my favorite food has me sweating on Italki.
  • I’d really like to engage with music/movies/TV more, but I’m missing a lot of slang and shortened casual speech skills, I’d love to work on that!

Right now, I’m reading 時をかける少女 and having a really great time. I’m learning a lot of really useful words!

Thank you and good luck to everyone on their learning journey!

Hopefully the study log helps keep the motivation flowing, though it’s most important to have some personal reason that you want to learn the language that you can draw on when challenges pop up. Fortunately, this is a very supportive community and you’ll definitely be able to find encouragement or a helping hand (or paw) when necessary!
