Pro – I can study any time of the day and in my own room.
Con – For times I have a question, I can ask it to my teacher, something I can’t do if I’m studying by myself.
An example of something I spent a lot of time learning about is practicing the Katakana alphabet so I could finish the test on the first day.
When faced with ambiguity or setback, I ask my friends to help me or look over the textbook to advance the development of my ideas.
To celebrate an accomplishment such as getting perfect on a test, I take a well deserved break from any studying.
I can continue learning Japanese through Minato over summer.
Advice to my past self would be to practice stroke order so I don’t make a habit of doing the wrong order, and to finish all the textbooks on time so they don’t stack up.
