This is me when I study. I look over past worksheets and normally listen to music while doing so. Japanese makes me lose my mind, so listening to music really helps calm me down.

An example of something I have spent a lot of time learning about is… the hiragana alphabet took time to memorize and while I still need a refresher every now and then I would say that I have a near full understanding of hiragana. I achieved this using multiple techniques such as recognizing similarities in the alphabet and flash cards.

I am curious about all the kanji that exist in the japanese language that I am excited to learn more about how I could memorize basic kanji  to make it easier to write sentences in a short amount of time.

To celebrate an accomplishment such as doing good on a test, I do absolutely nothing. Whenever I do good on a test I’m of course happy, I tell my mom, and then nothing else.

I will continue to study Japanese outside of class to further help me in the following years.
If there is any advice I could give for anyone going into Japanese, it would be to thoroughly study the vocabulary sheets and familiarize yourself with the alphabet as soon as possible.
