πŸ“šπŸ“š Read every day challenge - Summer 2022 πŸ– β˜€

:sunny: :beach_umbrella: :books: pygospa’s Home Post :books: :beach_umbrella: :sunny:

Hello everyone – I’m just a couple of days on this forum and already I am participating in my very first challenge here. Pew, quite some work to figure out how this works, but I think I’ve got this, now. It will be a hard one as I am a WaniKani Lvl 3 and worked through chapters 1 and 2 of げんき1 a while ago (need to re-read those, I fear), so don’t expect much from me. My goal is to make it a habit to think about reading Japanese every day – hopefully some day I’ll be reading whole books and participating in the book clubs, but for now I am content with just getting into the habit and if it’s just one sentence for which I consciously sat down to read it.

Activity log
Yesterday (2022-07-19T20:00:00Z), after asking here and reading around on the other topics, I stumbled upon Graded Readers and found this link, where I read the sample page: How to start tadoku – γ«γ»γ‚“γ”γŸγ©γ – not much but we all get to start somewhere, no? I researched on getting them through eBay or Amazon, but decided to postpone this for next week.

But today (2022-07-20T06:00:00Z) I found this helpful link: Graded Readers and Parallel Texts "Book Club" which also contains PDF versions of some graded readers material; while I rather have physical books I love this material and it is actually quite good, once you understand how they work. Took me a while to get that it was talking about the color 青 on the first pages (I actually fed google translate with it), and I was irritated to learn that this actually has two meaning :flushed: 青い空 and ι’γ‚Šγ‚“γ” this just explodes my mind :exploding_head: I read the the first β€œchapter”, i.e. pages 1-12.

Thanks everyone for being so welcoming and see you in the next updates :slight_smile:
