For 2024 I decided to just study a less with textbooks to focus more onto native materials and adventure more into reading! My main aim of the year was to reach level 60 with Wanikani which I managed! Finding your channel helped me plan more on my language journey (I love Yomiwa!)! I also finished Zelda Echoes of Wisdom completely in Japanese and I felt so much joy with as I noticed my reading had improved quite a lot! I'm looking forward to reading even more this year. 😄I realised I got given the same Eevee sticker as you have, I've put it in my 2025 study book so it'll act as a motivator for my reading journey!
You are a real motivation for me! Everytime you do a monthly recap I feel like I’m studying with you, and it’s a pleasant feeling❤ this year I’ll take the JLPT N4 exam (for Japanese) and seeing that you have the N1 means that it is possible, to archieve it
Congratulations 🎉 you did fantastic work this past year and are a huge inspiration and motivation for my own language learning journey! Have a happy new year ❤
Loved this recap! Congratulations on achieving so many of your goals ❤ You're such an inspiration I my study journey, I can't even express the impact you have on it 🥹
My language goals for 2025 are to take 40 conversation lessons, read 6 books in Arabic, become comfortable reading and listening to the news in Arabic, spend 850 hours on language study, and maybe start learning some basic Farsi if I'm feeling ambitious!
Congrats for everything you'va achieved so far ! 🎉 Your language learning study is so inspiring ! 😊 I'm also very happy about the progress I made in Chinese and Slovak 🥰
Happy new year and congrats on your great study year, dear Ally 🎉 I think it was quite successful. And what you said at the end about language learning resonated completely with me. We’re doing this for fun. So it should stay fun and not become an obligation. I also see my study goals as something that gives me direction and not something I have to achieve no matter what. And I totally get that being sometimes too optimistic about what you actually can achieve 💯 I often fell in this trap 😅 But I guess that’s part of the learning process as well. For me, I partly happy with my study year. I made good progress on my textbooks and even got into reading in Japanese this year 🎉, thanks to you and your inspiring videos. However I still lack the consistency I’m looking forward. I am consistent in doing at least something in Japanese everyday. But most of the time it’s more for maintaining my knowledge rather than making actual progress. So this is my overall goal for this year again: finding a way to have a quality consistency. One thing I was wondering though was, when you had your study breaks in Chinese or even now with Russian, if you did or do something to maintain your level? Or did you have to start almost from the beginning when you resumed your studying? Because I know from experience that forgetting what you learned when you’re not engaging with the language anymore gets so fast 😅 That was my problem with Japanese for years 😅. Anyway, I’m just curious how you handle that. Finally, thanks again for a wonderful study year with very inspiring and helpful videos. I wish you all the best for 2025 and until next time 👋🏻
Hey Ari! Just in case if you are looking for someone to practice Russian with and talk about linguistics or languages once a week as a call, please let me know! 🎉
Congratulations on being so successful in your studies! You are so inspirational ❤ I am curious (as I have never learned properly a language on my own as an adult until now) when you would consider Japanese like you do English? When do you think one becomes comfortable enough to make a language just part of one’s natural mental state? I was also thinking this because I am finding it so much more difficult to think in Spanish these days and am realizing I am going to have to not take that language for granted and start using it again 😅
