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

I did well preparing for unit tests. Although I procrastinated a lot, I managed to show my best effort through test results. Next time, I want to improve my Japanese study habit by managing my time, studying on a daily basis, and studying with friends.

An example of something I have spent a lot of time learning about is Japan. Through this project, I have learned a lot of things about Japan, starting from manners to must-visit places. There were a lot of different things compared to my home country such as table manners. These kinds of stuff made me curious to learn about Japan. After finishing my project, I really wanted to visit Japan one day.

Some short/long-term goals for myself include becoming more fluent in Japanese. My plan to achieve is to continue practicing my language skills. One day, I want to be able to speak with Japanese people with what our sensei taught us. This is why I have participated in a language exchange. I have learned lots through this opportunity.

I appreciate feedback on my work, assignments, and tests and prefer it to come in the form of number grades and proficiency scales. I improve my work by studying before the test day and with my result, I know what I need to focus on.

How will you continue your Japanese language acquisition over the year? I will be continuing with Japanese by watching more anime and visiting sensei’s class sometimes and hanging out with sensei! 🙂

If you could travel back in time, what study/language advice would you give yourself or others? I just want to say to myself: STOP PROCRASTINATING and have better TIME MANAGEMENT!! Another piece of advice I would like to give others is to spend your class time wisely. I have learned that using the given class time is important.
