I joined Wanikani this year after a big break from learning Japanese (and a canceled birthday+Olympics trip). Wasn’t expecting much but proud of how much I can do now!
- 285-day review streak (curse my recent missed day from traveling…!)
- Early joiner and advocate of
Let’s Durtle the Scenic Route
- Lifetime membership (because durtling)
- Overcame shyness, joined book club for my favorite manga (join us
) - Read and translated almost 800 pages of said manga
- Participated in a couple of online Tadoku reading club meetings
- Watched a couple episodes of Future Diary on Netflix in Japanese with Japanse subtitles.
- Started playing a video game at the perfect comprehension level for me (Oshiritantei Pupu Mirai no metantei toujyou trailer)
2022 Goals:
- 365-day review streak
- Keep durtling, avoid burn out
- Don’t chicken out on Tadoku group meets
- Take a language proficiency exam of some kind (if they don’t all fill up like JLPT)
- Read a short story in Japanese (something other than manga)
- Stream/record live translation of Oshiritantei game (?
) - Apply for MEXT scholarship (???
)
Thank you for all your support and comraderie this year, Wanikani Community! 明けましておめでとうございます!
