I used an iPad to study. I used the notes app to write down the different stroke orders or the different alphabets. I felt it was more convenient so I was able to switch from apps to help me out.

In Japanese, learning a new language is always difficult. I tried my best with assignments and tests always studying beforehand to make sure I don’t forget it the day of the test, but with major setback I think I could improve on my productivity. When having friends as your classmates sometimes it could be a little distracting. I appreciate feedback on assignments and prefer it comes in form of little notes instead of a check or an x. Some short/long term goals for myself include spending more time studying and trying to remember it longer if possible my plan to achieve this is to find some little ways in my daily life to always go back and remember it for years on. When faced with setbacks I always turn to music or my peers as moral support to advance the development of my ideas. Throughout the year I’ll try to learn even more about the Japanese language. Using the cites yomujp etc to help me prepare for the next school year. It’s also very helpful to watch anime so I could try to translate it myself. If I could travel back in time I would like to study sign language. I think sign language is something we should all try to learn so we’d be able to communicate with others who can’t communicate verbally. Some advice I’d give is that doing it constantly is a huge help. Being able to have a class for Japanese was an extra step into learning the language, but if your not able to get the classes you need studying and doing it constantly is a huge step.
