So, I’ve been in this period on what materials and tools I wanted to use to study Japanese. I was using Duolingo, but I felt it was just a bunch of vocab being thrown around which is OK..? 🧐 I’m more concerned about scentences, being able to speak, and scentence build

Currently I’ve been using Japanese from Zero and Mango Languages which seem to be going okay the more I get introduced to particles the moreI know it’s going to kick my butt😩😩 and I need to drill in this vocab.

I wish I wasn’t self studying alone though!!

Update

Wow, I feel like I neglected this blog for a awhile now. Studies and having to create art 24/7 in a art college is taking majority of my time. I know that probably sounds like a excuse, haha. But just being mentally drained, I don’t think I would retain any information doing language study from being tired!! So I haven’t been studying Japanese as of late...boo hoo. NG I made a friend from HelloTalk! While I was on Winter break. And he wasn’t weird (thank goodness) I didn’t get a chance to meet him in person and I because I went away again for school. But we been talking ever since, and they are really nice! So one of my goals is to be a little be decent to hold a conversation with them in Japanese. Not only that, but if I communicate with anyone else on there and make any other potential friendship. So, I need to work hard! Anyway, I’m hoping to get back into using this more efficiently and actually post more! So stay tune.じゃ！

[apeachystudy]

I think it will be easier for me to learn four hiragana a day, to help me remember better. Instead of trying to to learn everything at once, I think it’s best to just take my time.. I’ll post pictures of my update of my progress later on.
