What you did well and how you can improve your Japanese study habits

During Japanese Intro 11, I studied Japanese using the given material and worksheets. I think that my work on the group assignments was the place where I did most well at. There are tons of ways I could and could’ve improved my studying, I want to use school time more effectively to prevent last-minute work that I’ll just mindlessly complete but I also want to be able to endure being okay with sacrificing my own time for school. Feeling like I owe myself entertainment after doing something for X amount of hours is a bad habit of mine because I’ll always start procrastinating and leave work for another time.

I appreciate feedback on grammar and I’d prefer it be written or said to me clearly.

When faced with ambiguity or setbacks, I ask classmates and my teacher to advance the development of my ideas. 

An example of something I have spent a lot of time learning about is grammar particles and when to use them, I have an okay understanding of how and when to use them but when it comes to more complex and longer sentences I want to better learn how to properly use them.

How will you continue your Japanese language acquisition over the year?

I want to continue progressing my skill in Japanese in my own time and hopefully take Japanese 12 next year before I transfer.

If you could travel back in time, what study/language advice would you give yourself or others? (min 2 sentences)

My past self definitely wouldn’t take any school advice, but in the future, if I ever choose to continue studying Japanese or another language I would prioritize reading in that language.
