Road to N4, Back at WaniKani

So October, I’ve finally come to my senses that I need to get back at my studies a bit seriously this time.  I finished up N5 nicely and will be receiving my JLPT certificate soon, so it hit me… N4 is up next!

JLPT N5: 合格しました！

1 month left before summer ends! So here to new goals and new-new goals!

In my job, i have a 2-months summer break. Assessing what I did for the first month is:

[Motivation Post/Review] Suppli「サプリ」(2006 Jdrama): The show that made me wanna do this study

For instance, my love for anything Japanese progressed because of this drama from 2006 called, “Suppli” or english-titled “Love Supplement.”
