I was hoping to do ~3 full sections a month, but I’ll be lucky to get 2 sections done in July. Ah well. Slower through this B1 book than I expected but maybe I’ll pick things up / go a bit faster moving forward. 6 months to finish B1 is just a number I threw down. If it takes me longer, no biggie. But I’ll still kinda-sorta aim at this as my goal.

Falling behind. Not exactly in exam day triage mode yet, but I can see it from here. Nothing I can do but keep pushing when I can. I picked a hell of a year to take the JLPT.

On the plus side, only 750 new notes left in Anki (maybe 400-450 cards or so), still on pace to clear that early/mid-September. That’ll feel really good. My SRS journey has been so long. Sometime next year I’ll put the program away, maybe for good unless I decide I want to do some focused vocab study in a certain domain or something.

My basic/early intermediate grammar discrimination is feeling really sharp lately, too. Love having a sense of innate mastery, that developing gut feeling that makes everything work so much faster. Want more of it!

I’ve been sucking and getting rusty, but I actually got a fair bit of practice this week. I’m wondering if I should restart a proper subscription, since my finances have room for it again.

Had 2 really bad days, still more bad days to come, but those are further in the future.

Managing with roughly 15-30 mins of Japanese, about 15 mins Spanish. Doing 5 mins maths. Doing about 1-2 chess matches a day too. Haven’t touched my Lojban whatsoever though, however I’m also recently trying to exercise more too and that takes a bit.

Talking with someone new who is also learning Japanese, so now I have another new Japanese buddy.

Ōlelo hawai’i is going too fast. I need to catch up from lessons this week
