These are my current short- and long-term goals in learning Japanese, taking my current capabilities into account:
- Improve vocabulary
- Learn verb conjugations
- Learn more particles
- Learn complex sentence structure
- Find at least one consistent Japanese speaking partner
- Complete Genki, Japanese for Busy People, and WaniKani
- Learn to speak at different levels of politeness
- Play an entire game in Japanese
- Master all 2,136 jōyō kanji 常用漢字 (“regular-use kanji“)
- Pass all JLPT exams, N5 – N1
What do you think? Am I aiming too high? I don’t think it’ll happen overnight, of course, especially the JLPT N1, but I’m gonna try my best!
What are your goals in learning Japanese? Are you learning for the sake of learning? Is there something specific you want to be able to do, or someone in particular you want to talk to? Tell me!
