An Overview of Note-Taking Styles

Note-taking is one of the most essential skills a student should master. It allows you to record and review information to be used in the future. But what’s the best way to do so? Here’s an overview of note-taking styles that can help you maximize your learning!

Different ways to show intention to do something

たいと思う  -  I’m going to/ I want to

ましょう - I will/ Why don’t I

しようと思う - I think I will

しようとする - I’ll try to

するところ - I’m about to

つもり - I plan to

する予定がある - I have plans to

する気がある - I feel like

ことにする - decide to

まいとする - I’ll try not to

まいと思う - I think I won’t

EXTRA:

～たいと思う means “I think I’d like to…”:

本を読みたいと思う “I think I’d like to read a book”

～ましょう means “let’s do…” (polite form):

本を読みましょう “Let’s read a book”

～しようと思う means “I think I’ll…”:

本を読もうと思う “I think I’ll read a book”

～しようとする means “I’ll try to…” as you said:

本を読もうとする “I’ll try to read a book”

～するところ means “I’m about to…”/“I’m at the point of…” or “place for (do)ing…”:

本を読むところ “I’m about to read a book” or “place for reading books”

～つもり means “I intend to”, slightly less formal than ～予定がある I think and is less likely to be used in business etc:

本を読むつもりだ “I intend to read a book”

～する予定がある “I have plans to” as stated:

本を読む予定がある “I have plans to read a book”

～する気がある “I am of a mind to”:

本を読む気がある “I am of a mind to read a book”

I think ～ことにする translates differently depending on the context, but that it generally means “(will) go with (do)ing…”:

今週こそは本を読むことにする “I will go with reading a book this week”

I’m not sure about ～まいとする and ～まいと思う. I think the difference between ～予定がある and ～つもり might need it’s own question.

How I learn vocabulary [method 1]

1. Choose a vocabulary list 

2. Copy & paste the words into Word, remove the translations

3. Print the vocabulary list

4. Write the translations of each word again (if you made the vocabulary list try to remember them without looking first)!

(As you maybe noticed, the original list was in Japanese-English but I have the list in Japanese-Finnish here.) 5. Quiz yourself by hiding the translation of the word with a post-it note or some other item. Move on to the next word when you get it right. Go back to the beginning of the list if you don’t remember the word right. When you get everything right, do it the other way - hide the word itself and try to recall it just looking at the translation.

7. Read through the list and quiz yourself again after a few days to test if you remember everything.

Additional steps:

• Write the word by hand on a separate (graph) paper, post-it note, or to the backside of the vocabulary sheet • Check how the word is pronounced on forvo.com • Look for example sentences that include the words on the list (for example on tatoeba.org) • Make your own sentences using the words on the list • Make handmade flashcards of the words or put them into Memory, Quizlet or other flashcard app

This is one of the many vocabulary learning methods I’ve been using for years and it works for me and I enjoy learning this way. It may not work for you. What vocabulary learning methods and techniques do you use?

[sanrio-study]

hello! i'm only starting to learn japanese and i'm finding it hard to know where i should start with the kanji. do you really have to learn kanji separately and memorize both their pronunciations or can you just learn the kanji in the vocabulary?

omg no! don’t stress yourself out like that anon!!

okay, i’m going to be real with the japanese language learning community: you all are doing waaaaaaaay too much when it comes to kanji.

there. i said it.

learning kanji does not have to be a headache!

i spent the first 6 months of my japanese learning “career” (for lack of a better word) trying to figure out the best way to learn kanji because every website and book was like “here’s the kunyomi, here’s the onyomi, now learn them both” but the fine print of that learning method says “you’re going to f*cking struggle”

but then i started realizing that kanji i read all of the time, i didn’t even “properly” study like those articles said. i didn’t know the kunyomi and onyomi for 行 for ages, but i knew it was read いく in 行く and こう in words like 旅行 and 直行. because i learned those words in context and on their own.

a few months after i came to japan, i started asking japanese people how they learned kanji and every single one of them answered the same way: they learn through vocabulary. i once asked my boyfriend how he learned kanji in grade school, and he said that they were basically given a kanji, and then they were given a list of vocabulary that included that kanji. they then memorized the vocabulary and grew to know the kunyomi and onyomi readings.

which, spoiler: kunyomi and onyomi is not always an accurate measure. lots of compounds use the kunyomi, some of them add dakuten (as in ちゅうごく instead of ちゅうこく in 中国), and others add っ (as in ちょっこう instead of ちょこう in 直行). this really isn’t something you can just magically guess.

but it’s important to remember that everyone learns differently. i don’t learn individual kanji – i learn kanji within various vocabulary words. i make sure to get as much exposure to the various ways a single kanji can appear within a larger compound, so 高 is not just a single kanji, but it is 高い and 高校生 and 高価.

i do, however, think it’s important to understand the meaning of a kanji. this can help you decipher the meaning of a word you don’t know yet. for example, 高価 (こうか) means “high price.” 高 means high and 価 means price. knowing their meaning individually can help decipher the meaning.

in this way you can argue that yes, knowing the individual readings of these two kanji makes guessing the reading of this word easier, but 価 can also be read “ke"! you can’t guarantee an accurate reading all of the time, but with more and more exposure to individual kanji, you will be able to tell.

which brings me to my main point: learning kanji is an individual experience. i, personally, think that learning onyomi and kunyomi readings for 2,000+ jouyou kanji is a HUGE WASTE OF TIME, but there are a lot of people out there that do this methodically and know lots and lots of kanji and vocabulary. i, personally, need kanji in a larger vocabulary word in order for it to stick, and my brain just catalogues the various readings away. that’s how my brain works and learns, but it’s not how everyone else works and learns. 

it’s important to find what works for you.

that being said, if you’re just starting out i highly recommend Jakka. it’s a website meant for japanese grade school teachers and has tons of grade school kanji material broken up into their appropriate grades. japanese school children are expected to learn and master a certain amount of kanji + vocabulary each grade level, so if you’d really like to learn like a child, learn like the school children do! (the website is in japanese but fairly simple to navigate.)

i hope this helps a little anon! and remember that learning kanji isn’t a race. if it takes you awhile to learn them, don’t worry. everyone learns languages differently.
