This blog is for me to see my progress,
fix mistakes in my study,
and anything related to Japan/Japanese.
So I've been studying Japanese for a very long time.
A month ago I would have said about 8 years.
But my Japanese is still very much of a beginner.
I wondered why.
I read a blog on the idea that we can't measure by years but by time.
So in my case, I haven't been studying Japanese the whole time.
Not eating, sleeping, working, etc for 8 years while I studied.
Otherwise ya, I'd be fluent by now.
So measuring how much I've studied by time
I'm not sure now.
So I feel like taking a step back.
I've gone back to 0.
I started this set of mind this month.
So in total I've only studied 1:19.
My idea right now is to out do myself every month.
So I still have the rest of the month to see how much I'll do.
I've started to write down how long and what I've been studying.
This way of thinking has helped me grasp so much better
on how long I really am putting my energy into learning Japanese.
I get excited to sit down and study.
I don't sit down and study endlessly hours upon hours.
Otherwise I'll never sit down in the first place.
I do it by 15min intervals for now.
Today I did this three times.
I'm still learning what is the best method of learning for me.
Everyone learns a different way.
Right now I need to learn to manage my time
between school, work, Japanese, and everything else.
One thing I always keep in mind,
"Suck less today than you sucked yesterday"
