2019 Japanese Language Goals
I’m finally fully going to start studying another language besides Chinese. I plan on getting a degree in Japanese at University so I decided why not have this be the language I start next. (If you didn’t know my career choice is going to be a Chinese-Japanese translator and Interpreter and since my native language is english I’ll be adding it in there too along with the other languages I’ll speak in the future.
Since Japanese will be my degree I’ve decided to get started on it. In 2019 I want about a solid lower intermediate level. I’ve actually broken my resources down by level. I want to go through all my Beginner’s and lower intermediate resources. I don’t really like putting a word count on my levels anymore but if I did I want to reach around 4k words in this year. Which means I really just could learn 40 words a day for 4 months, I don’t know if I want to do that or space it out since I want to through some other languages in there.
*Learn 4k words - Already said this one.
*Build good listening skills from the start - I study textbooks way too much in the beginning so my listening is always left behind, I need to get more audio input in the beginning
*Go through Genki 1 & 2- This shouldn’t be a surprise since Genki is always recommended
*Go through Nakama 1 &2 - If these have anything Genki doesn’t have in it.
*Basic Japanese and A dictionary of Basic Japanese Grammar - Really cracking down on basic grammar so I have a solid foundation.
*Intermediate Japanese and A dictionary of Intermediate Japanese Grammar
I have a couple other small goals such as, being able to listen to some of my favorite Japanese songs and being able to understand small clips. This while be top priority next to my Chinese but I’m focusing on my Mandarin being fluent.
Me: *makes a google search query in French*
Google: *gives me French results*
Me:
I haven’t used this blog in like... 80 years bc my former French teacher broke her arm this time a year ago, assured me she’d be back in July, never showed up, then delisted herself as an italki teacher without a word about a half a year ago, never responding to any of my messages or emails.
So, I have a new teacher now, and she’s very nice! Stricter, I think, but she seems good! :) So, French lessons begin again after a year.

Video games are the BEST way to immerse yourself in Spanish.
wow never thought of that thanks for the advice:D!!
I swear by video games and youtube personally. Vloggers use a lot of vocabulary and are very good at giving you a feel for how people state opinions and ideas, gamers who play any game that isn’t just a shooting or racing game use a lot of terminology to talk about what’s happening / objects, and humor channels also help you develop your listening skills and pragmatic ability. Also, youtube can be accelerated / slowed down if needed, you can use a button to rewind 5 seconds to rehear something, and a lot of channels put up subtitles.
I know that I have known words in books in classes from playing video games before too :-)
Nice!

How to learn a language
Tips from a language major:
•When learning new vocabulary write the meaning in your language once and the new word at least three times
•If you are learning a new writing style (I.e. Hanzi, kanji, Sanskrit, etc.) write the character at least three times, the meaning and the pronunciation once. -do not write the pronunciation above the character, write it to the side, otherwise you won’t even try to read it. -Learn! Stroke! Order!
•when reviewing vocab try to use the word in a sentence.
•do not pay attention to the technicalities of the grammar. Do not attempt to compare it to your own language. This will seriously mess you up for 80 years. Just pay attention to the sentence structure and make similar sentences.
•if you are learning a tonal language (I.e Chinese) or language that has sounds that don’t exist in your language watch videos of people pronouncing things and try to match their mouth movements.
•if all else fails on your tones just speak quickly.
•watch TV shows in that language and yes watch them with subtitles. But please be aware that may not be how people speak in real life (I’m looking at you, Japanese/Chinese/Korean learners)
•DO NOT BE AFRIAD TO MAKE MISTAKES of you mess up during a sentence just correct yourself and keep going.
•flash cards, flash cards, flash cards. Real and digital.
•spend at least an hour a day on it (OUTSIDE of class), if you’re trying to learn on your own you’re gonna need more time.
•talk to yourself in that language, take notes in it, set your phone to it. You probably look crazy but that is a-ok.
•listen to music in that language, while it probably won’t do much for your ability in the beginning it will help you distinguish sounds once you get pretty good.
•and lastly, don’t give up. It took you like ten years to grasp your own language it’s gonna take awhile to grasp another.
