Let's do the October Challenge together! I've already registered!
I have always enjoyed taking on new challenged - especially ones that are a little difficult but not TOO difficult (i.e. just outside of the "comfort zone" where the greatest growth and breakthrough can happen.)
Guys, do you have other interesting challenges we can do? Please give me the challenge and let's do it together!
Hi, I had the good fortune of taking a lot of italki classes with excellent Japanese teachers here and also had fun chatting with some of you here on italki through skype and the message system.
1. How about language exchange directly in Tokyo?
Well, lucky for us, I have a business trip to Tokyo but have a lot of flexibility on my schedule (esp. during weekday.) So if you and your Japanese friends like to do language exchange while I am in Tokyo, please feel free to message me (you are welcome even if we haven't met.)
2. You can correct my Japanese and I can help with your English.
We can even visit a place like a.) musuem or b.) shopping center and try to describe or ask questions in those settings. Or if you like to c) play board games, I can bring one from the states, and teach and play the games with you and your friends while learning the language. Since I won't bring the board game back, at least one of you will have the game as my gift, too!
If interested, please message me. Looking forward to hearing from you.

はじめまして。italkiで日本語をたくさん勉強しました。29/8 から9/9まて、東京にいます。
いいチヤンスですね!
私と英語の会話がしたいだら、 でメセイジががおくりましよう。
喫茶店や博物館やヨシツビンクセンターやおもしおろいで会話しましよう。
ボードゲームしてもできます。
面白くて思いだら、連絡しましよう。
たのしめしています。
For those of you that are also studying by yourself, do you mind sharing how you are measuring your progress?
Let me start first. I am tracking vocabulary learned on daily basis. I try to learn at least 10-20 new words a day. I am currently at
N5 875/1230
N4 583/1245
N3 99/3438
I track the above numbers daily.
P.S. all of the above are half kanji and half hiragana so really the counts should be divided by two for new words learned.
I've found tracking helps me stay motivated. I know if I just keep marching forward, I will eventually reach the goal.
But I am having a harder time to come up with daily measurement for other areas such as grammar, conversation skills, fluency, etc.
Sometimes, I felt after a conversation or a class I had a weired feeling of whether I actaully made progress, learned something or just repeated something I arleady know.
Let me know your thoughts or perhaps, you have other ideas for staying steadily motivated!
Thank you!
