Mission: Become Proficient in Japanese by the end of 2015...

こんいちあは！アンバです～

Starting today, I will be having a daily post both here and on my blog to motivate myself.

I won't be able to make posts when I go to Japan, but... being there every day for 2 weeks will show how much work I will be getting done lol.

So, my plan will be for each day:

2 hours on Japanese on weekdays, 30 minutes on weekends. This is because I want to retain the information rather than "cram-studying". I don't have a good memory, so I'm afraid if I cram it all in and then stop, then I know I'll most likely forget.

I'll be using websites, and my Genki Japan book for everything.

So, here will be my plan for the next 199 days will be this! (I am also very bad at keeping with studying... please wish me luck!) When I complete my goal, I'll post a lil' check mark like this: ✔
