Goal: to find a good nice notebook, and write nothing but Japanese in it. Sticky notes, washi tape, stickers, lists, whatever. But it has to be in Japanese.

Anyone have any good book recs?

Language Study Diary: Day 1 (2022/6/10)

Hi! I'm starting a daily language diary on the off chance that the sense of accountability will keep me in check.

My goals with English and Japanese are basically to continue building vocabulary through vocab books and extensive reading. I’m also starting Thai from scratch, so I’ll be working through a textbook and using other supplementary resources. Today: お決まり表現単語帳→reviewed 10 words, studied 10 new words Ten Nights of Dreams→reread The First Night, read The Third Night Merriam-Webster Vocabulary Builder→p163/692

Lesson feedback

My teacher leaves me feedback in Chinese for every lesson. She summarises what we covered and what specific language abilities are improving. I like that she does it almost completely in Chinese, because it gives me a chance to add to my vocabulary list and read with words in context. Her words are always encouraging and motivate me to study hard. Here’s an example from our last lesson:

Great lesson with Zakk! 我們今天複習了第三課學過的會話，也練習了第三課課文的聽力，Zakk已經掌握了所有的學過的語法和句子。他已經能介紹家人和他們的興趣，也能描述會話的重點，非常好！另外，他的中文字寫得非常棒，讓人感動和印象深刻！^_^
