Hello lovelies, how are you? Hope you enjoyed a wonderful weekend like me. The short trip to the Netherlands was great, we went to the fish market and did some shopping. I listened to my old CD's from "The Corrs" all the time during the 90 minutes car drive, and I realized how much I've missed listening to english music. For years I've only listened to japanese music (well, for fun and also for listening comprehension :-) When I was a teenager "The Corrs" were my favourite band. Well, enough of nostalgic moments, back to the present!
Today, I actually did something I have postponed all of the time, I started to seriously study japanese again! I don't wanna show off when I say my japanese speaking abilities are quite passable (I know a lot of people who speak it so fluently and so much better than I do), but let's say I'm not the worst, hahaha! I've been learning for about 5 years now, and next year, during my Working Holiday in Japan I wanna take the Japanese Poficiency Test Level 2, meaning I have to know 1000 Kanji and tons of vocabulary and grammar. I still miss about 300 Kanji, and about 1/3 grammar, which I hope to catch up to before I leave in November. When studying today I realized I somehow got out of learning, my back and hand hurt after about 90 minutes :-( Anyway, hope I'll manage to learn the rest more efficiently when I make more breaks but therefore study intensively XD.
Here you see my books and note :-)
