I can relate to this one.
My sisters donāt even pretend to be interested.
I have put up Dunlewyās Meandering Study Log.
This wiki doesnāt seem to want to add mine. Help, please!
Iāve made the edit to the wiki :). Looking forward to read the updates. Your dedication is inspiring to say the least !
Thank you! I appreciate that.
I spent a very pleasant few mins reading through the replies to taiyouseaās challenge while I was stuck in an airport yesterday. I get a little lost with the sheer volume of logs (and frequency of posts within the logs) there are, but I love hearing your reflections above on progress made over the years. I lurk more than I post but it is wonderful to hear so many stories of the enjoyment (and sometimes hardship!) people have derived from their learning journey. Thanks to all of you that outweigh any internet bias to negativity by setting such a positive tone to (most of) this forum. I think the logs are a key part of that. Gives hope to the rest of us!
What a fun idea! And reading everyoneās responses is really nice too
Why did you start your study log?
Mmm I like it as a way to organise my thoughts, I can sort of dump everything under headings and then Iām like oh yeah I did do that amount of reading this week, plus its nice including other things and chatting about them with others.
What aspects of study logs do you like the most?
Iād say its that nothing inspires me more than seeing other people passionate about learning and putting effort in. When Iām reading peopleās logs regardless of level and seeing their journey and thoughts on learning methods, getting excited about progressing since they started, or reaching milestones I get so pumped up to do my best as well. Passion is very inspiring
And additionally with the personal parts too like when people talk about their other hobbies its nice to see what else the people you see in threads do in their lives, thereās a lot of varied interests here which is pretty neat.
What are your favorite kinds of replies to read/receive?
Honestly anything, Iām just happy anyone took the time to read anything I wrote and its so nice when you see people cheering others on.
Were/are you inspired by any specific logs?
Iām currently making a list of inspiration logs on my own that Iād like to flick to from time to time for motivational purposes. Iām usually drawn to pretty ones or nicely organised ones since I do like organised things, but also its good when thereās thorough discussion of their JP learning
Hereās a few peopleās that inspire(d) me for various reasons
@mitrac @soggyboy @taiyousea @Shannon-8 @hemuli
And Iām sure Iām missing some but I have the memory of a sieve but I have a bunch set to watching so I can pop by whenever they update!
Relatable lol, I try to rationalise with myself about it to make myself feel better though, cause for me thereās so many study logs that I want to read every single update on and leave a few comments but if I do that its gonna eat away several hours every week that I should be doing work in so I assume its similar for others. I love detailed updates theyāre always the most interesting to read theyāre just also the hardest to commit to if youāve got a busy day Though now youāve mentioned it I feel like going on a log reply spree
Why did you start your study log?
Mainly to hold myself accountable, but also to be able to ask questions and have a reason to draw pixelart.
What aspects of study logs do you like the most?
The routine of it. Itās nice to have a place to come to every week and see all the progress you made summarized. But the social aspect is a close second! Itās amazing that you can ask questions and have other language learners give their advice and perspective.
What are your favorite kinds of replies to read/receive?
Honestly, all the replies! Everyone is super nice and helpful so far.
Were/are you inspired by any specific logs?
I actually tried not to deep dive into logs too much in the start, as I am very easily distracted. But now I am giving myself Sundays and Mondays to look through logs, which is a nice way to start the week!
Weebās Study Log
definitely made me want to draw banners and be better about formatting.
Thanks for your reply on my log.
My study log has disappeared! I have asked the All-knowing Crabigator if he knows where it went. I hope he knows. Otherwise I will have to start over.
I leveled up today.
Hi! I still see your log, do you get the notification about my comment there?
Now I see it! I wonder where it went? I couldnāt even even get it from this page for half an hour. Thanks for letting me know itās back.
Strange!!
