introduction.

みなさん、こんにちは。マギー　です。

hi there! i'll make a small introduction for myself here.

my name is maggie, i'm a 30 year old aussie guy (he/him) with no prior history in speaking/reading/writing any language but english, and i'm currently at the very beginning of studying japanese language.

as a warning, mistakes may be abound due to me being at the start of practicing reading, writing, and speaking. i mainly made this blog to keep my other blogs on topic.

i'm really excited to be here! this is also a sideblog so follows will come from my main @wormhead.

よろしくおねがいします。

a really really really underrated feeling in learning a different language is when you start to hear words. as in it's no longer a string of sounds, you can parse through where words start and stop as you're hearing them. even words that you don't know what they mean yet but you can distinctly hear it as a whole word

Idk how long they’ve been available but italki has group lessons now! Looking at the Japanese ones, some are much cheaper than private lessons, with one guy offering conversation practice for just $5 USD for an hour class

If you have a budget to put towards language studies but thought language lessons are too expensive, it might be worth looking into!

Listening to music in a foreign language: oh no I didn't understand that sentence, I need to work on my listening comprehension.

Listening to music in my native language: the fuck is he even talking about

[benkyou-shimasu]

finally got off my butt and started writing down grammar points that i've been forgetting about. my wrist is sore from 1hr+ writing but i'm glad it's mostly done at least.

and now i have a quick reference!! yaaaay!!

genki i chapter 5 complete! now to spend the rest of the week getting comfortable with the が particle. i've been slacking on journal entries but that's mostly due to me just wanting to spend more time studying.

i usually spend the week doing genki and then spend the weekend studying kanji. the kanji is like a treat for me personally; a reward for learning the genki lesson.

i know i don't haaave to do that and that it's giving me more work than needed / genki will teach me the kanji i need for n5 but like listen...... kanji is just so nice to learn about for me. i need a reward for getting thru genki or i start to feel my brain sizzle.
