Japanese Learning Log

I guess it’s too late to do something like this for Korean, but I kinda want to keep a learning log for Japanese. Something like a record of the major milestones? Not too sure, but right now, I just want to record down the articles that I’ve read in Japanese for my own purposes. So that I can go back to it sometimes if needed. For those who are learning Japanese too, maybe you can use this as a guide to choose articles suitable for your standard (I’m somewhere in the intermediate stage)

    Ooooh this is a great idea! I might just do the same thing from now on. I guess keeping a learning log on anything you’re interested to learn is quite helpful 🙂 I’ll do this with my guitar learning too 🙂

    Hello! I really like your blog, and I’m actually wondering if you’ll be making another pdf of Self Study Japanese just like what you’ve done for Korean self study..
    It’ll be really helpful ^^
    And I took it that since you don’t stay in the native country while learning the language, how do you find yourself improve your speaking abilities ?

    You progressed so fast! Learning Hiragana to finishing your first novel in just two years. Well I guess that knowing Chinese and Korean also helps a lot. 수고하세요!
