Finally an update !! earlier this month i started itching for more room in my planner + so this week i started up a new planner in an A5 leuchtturm1917 (link).

Having an A5 planner used to be out of the question for me as i didn’t feel it practical to carry around, but i’m a lot less mobile in my 3rd year of uni + will be even less so next year after graduation!

I wanted to see if it was possible to combine my bullet-journal and personal journal/sketchbook as i’m always carrying them both around separately + was struggling to remember to keep on top of them both. Idk how well this idea will work out but i’m very hopeful, and excited to think that each completed book would almost be a full catalogue of my experiences at the time ?? yessssss

I bought a plastic notebook cover on amazon (link) that fits it perfectly + im excited to slot postcards in the front and back of the book !!!

The pages from top left to bottom right show:

The cover page for my personal future log

My personal future log spread

Some academic notes + the cover page for my academic future log

My academic future log

My December monthly spread

My December gratitude log + moodboard

A weekly spread (its nice to have more room)

A daily page (its also nice to have more room here, i debated about using half pages but actually really like being able to be more detailed if i want)

An example of a sketchbook/journal page in the back of the book!

So there we go !! this is the initial set-up but i’ll update with anything that changes or gets introduced. Let me know what you think ??

[gloomy-collects]

some recent bullet journal bits! trying to get myself somewhat organised for uni (and in genera).

> an ‘ideal day’ spread (for days at home when i dont have any classes etc). once im settled back in uni i’ll make more for other days! I can glance at them if im feeling stuck + then have an idea of what im /supposed/ to be doing

> dinner/evening meal ideas (with additional notes on the opposite page). Im using a bullet point for easy meals + a hyphen for meals that require slightly more effort and energy to prepare/cook (work in progress, v empty right now).

> a sort of helpful attempted timetable thing for the first week back (i think my timetable is still being edited etc by the uni so its a bit ????)(still a WIP hence the lack of title)

> testing out a new way of tracking what i wear from my wardrobe- the numbers at the top are the days of the month + i’ll colour in the squares according to what i wear (items listed down the side). previously i was tracking with tally charts but it ’t very useful/readable (still a WIP hence the lack of title)

[gloomy-collects]

the first big bunch of pages in my new bullet-journal! (minus all the un-shown daily pages and uni lists) 📚🖋 but this is my key, future log and most of my (soon to be) recurring spreads, including monthly and weekly overview + habit trackers. (using the A6 squared paper leuchtturm1917 + pilot frixion pen!)

Basic Kanji Stroke Guide Cheatsheet

Why do I need to learn how to count kanji stroke?

Learning to count kanji stroke is important because you will need it to search for the meaning of a kanji in a dictionary, when the kanji is not equipped with furigana.

Most offline Japanese dictionary will be able to help you with its “search by radical” function. But to search for the correct radical, you will need to know it’s stroke count. Since the way all kanji are sorted is by their stroke count.

Stroke count for kanji such as 一二三 are easy. But things start to get confusing when you notice that 口 is made out of 3 strokes instead of 4. Sometimes some corner are made with 1 stroke and sometimes with 2.

Below you can find cheatsheet on some of basic kanji corner guide.

The 1st and 2nd from the top are some basic corners. The 3rd and 4th are more complicated corners. Especially the last part. You will need to memorize it and when you meet another kanji with that radical, you will know it’s stroke count correctly.

Today we’ll be learning how to tell the time in Japanese!

The formula is quite simple, but you have to take note & memorize the irregularity of some reading, especially in minutes. The irregular are colored in red~

Note that you will need to add Japanese AM & PM before stating the hour and minute! Happy learning! ｡ﾟ✶ฺ.ヽ(*´∀`*)ﾉ.✶ฺﾟ｡

Not Sure When to Use で or に?

Here’s a great tip by Maggie Sensei:

When you’re talking about existence, you use に

🏠に🚙/🌷がある 🏠に👶/🐶がいる

When an action or an event is involved, you use で

Hello everyone! To celebrate this blog reaching 100 followers (wow!) I decided to provide, to anyone who is interested, a masterpost full of resources for learning Mandarin Chinese! Two years ago, I walked in to my CHI 101 class with zero knowledge of the language, and four semesters later, I am able to read, write, and hold a conversation in Mandarin! In this masterpost, I will provide all the resources and techniques I learned in my university classes that helped me learn Mandarin, as well a free PDF copy of the textbook I used for my CHI 101 and CHI 102 class!  [original gif by: bigblueboo]

Common questions in Japanese part 4

Start studying Genki Kanji - Kana and English. Learn vocabulary, terms, and more with flashcards, games, and other study tools.

Genki Flashcards!

So, tonight’s flashcards (and our first set) come from the famous Genki textbook series.

What we have are all the vocabulary words from Genki 1 and 2, but in Kanji. These include day-to-day conversation words and expressions, perhaps words you don’t hear much in your average TV show, but words that do come up often enough that you really should have them under your belt, especially the verbs.

My advice has always been that you should get into the habit of seeing things and writing things in Kanji from day 1. I don’t mean that Kana is forbidden or anything, but whatever vocabulary you learn, you should at the very least have written it once in Kanji and you should be able to identify the Kanji (if the corresponding Kanji is in popular use, that is - sometimes it isn’t.)

There are 1,125 words here. That’s a lot. This isn’t a weekend project, this is a semester project. If you study 10 a day, you’ll have more than enough time to let it sink and to review.

People say that fluency requires a working vocabulary of 5000 words. This’ll get you through one fifth.
