What are your goals for Japanese in 2025?

Goals for 2025 :rocket:

Reading

In 2024 (for 11 months), I’ve read 30 novels and almost 11k novel pages. I was thinking about maybe shooting for 50 novels in 2025. I honestly don’t think it’s realistic because of the time required, though. At the same time, for some reason I have more time to read now that I’m in full-time job compared to when I was a student until June / graduation. Major change in my life. So it would be a nice number if I could manage it. Also crazy to think about how during the past 5 years (since 2020) until now I’ve completed 100 novels (finished the most recent one today!). So 50 in one year?! :eyes: It’s okay to be ambitious, but I feel like I’m reaching for the stars here. I think going for 30 books like in 2024 is more realistic.

Read 50 novels :books:
Read 15k novel pages :bookmark:

Listening

Watch at least 5 anime without subs.

アオのハコ (ep 9 - )

Lower than 2024, I don’t want anime to be the focus of the year. Would be fun to track how many hours of live streams I’ve watched during a year. I watch a lot of Kuzuha and Kanae. A lot of clips and edited videos have subs (either jp/en), so just lives.

Track hours of live streaming (50+ hours?)

Vocab

Currently at 16k.

Grammar

I’m not doing any active grammar study anymore. So mostly for tracking purposes.
