Hello everyone!

Even though I always wanted to learn Japanese, I was never serious enough to do so.

For the past few months I realised how much I need to learn this language. I agree (above), you would need to ask yourself “why, and do you have to?”

You need to inspire yourself to do so, even if you’re bored doing the same thing over and over again.

Just think of an important reason, and remind yourself everyday that this “reason” is worth burning out over and over again.

Reasons like for your Japanese girlfriend/boyfriend, love of anime & manga, living in Japan, etc. And if this is one thing is utmost important, you shouldn’t care even if it’s a burnout, cause it’s all worth the effort.

Currently I’ve been thinking ways to learn efficiently and not to get burnt.
Right now I’m using large sticky notes and write down one “method of learning” on each note. Like flash cards, writing, reading, self-learning websites, watching Jdrama, or anything Japanese related. Even listening Japanese music to relax. And every time I get bored, I will look at these sticky notes on my wall, and pick one, and so on.

I’m not sure if it’s a good method, or will I ever learn this language. But…. I will remind myself “this” important reason, I will carry on! ^^;

がんばります！
