I’m still bad at Japanese, and I will be for a long while, but that isn’t going to stop me from at least learning some vocab each day.

I did a little bit of memrise tonight. Due to college + work I've had near to no time for Japanese and I feel so bad because I want to know more Japanese sooo badd!!

[weal-does-japanese]

;_; i need friends to text japanese with to practice and get better...but im also not at a level for basic conversation yet?!😭

[weal-does-japanese]

I'm currently doing pretty well with memrise...I've kept up my streak (21days) and I'm learning 5-10 words a day.

I tried out my kanji book which I bought and just, never touched, but after a few pages my brain was fried so...its back on shelf for now 😹😹

Lately tho I've been contemplating starting a little diary type of thing in Japanese, to help me start thinking in Japanese and using it 👀

I managed to reach 200 words on the JLPT N5 Vocab course on memrise! I'm on a 12 day streak so I've learnt 200 words in 12 days-ish :o Excited to be making more progress. Side note;; I try not to learn too many words in a day because otherwise I just remember absolutely none of it!:o hence im a lil slow~
