Pvppydog's study log

Coming back to WaniKani after a year, time to make a study log.

Intro

Hi! I’m pvppydog. I am 19 ('06) and have a fun combo of Autism and ADHD.
Learning new things has always been hard for me. I can’t stay focused on the material, what I learn just doesn’t stick in my head, and I often just find it overwhelming.

I’ve been discouraged recently about learning Japanese. I was having a good email thread with a language school in japan, when I mentioned I might need some academic accommodations.
They asked me to go more in detail, and I shared that I had Autism and that in the past, I had been granted extra time on tests and a quiet place to take them. The school replied saying they were sorry, but they could not accommodate me online or in person.

Anyways, while I figure out the school situation, I am going to study Japanese in whatever way makes me excited to learn!

Goals

Short Term

  • Practice my skills in Japan when I go early next year
  • Read an easy manga
  • Find a way to learn that I like

Long Term

  • Take the JLPT
  • Go to a language school
  • Watch anime without subtitles (and actually understand it)

I will add more goals as I think of them!

Routine
  • Study kana
  • New matieral
  • Reading
  • Listening1
  • Writing
  • Review

I will update this when I think of more

Welcome to the study log crew! It is unfortunate that the school is unable (or unwilling) to accommodate you, but hopefully that is just a small speed bump and whatever happens ends up working out better than that would have. :slight_smile:
