life really is so simple when you sit back and realise you don’t actually have to do a lot of things. i don’t have to be on my phone constantly. i don’t have to sit inside all day. i don’t have to reply to peoples messages straight away. i don’t have to have what’s in my fridge. i can go out and get groceries and make things that I’m craving. i can go on a walk. i can turn my phone off for a day or two. i can sit and read for hours on end. i can journal for as long as i want. i can mediate. i can cook. i can clean. i can breathe deeply. i can get myself a tea or a coffee. i can have meaningful conversations with my family. i don’t have to be in a constant state of “online”. i can disconnect. I’m not obliged to be here. my name isn’t being called out on a list. i can leave. i can take time away. i am allowed to live.

Find Language Content to Immerse Yourself In

Heyy guys! I found this really cool youtuber who does japanese language videos. They are super helpful when it comes to grammar, kana, and kanji. His channel is “gaijinquest”

Pain is temporary. GPA is forever.

Apps for learning Kanji

Japanese kanji study - 漢字学習  

This app is great for learning kanji. You will learn the meaning, reading, different vocabulary, sentences, and my favorite feature of all: stroke order! You can also take a quiz by using this app (^_-)

 Take note that if you want to access all JLPT level, you have to purchase it. The price is cheaper compared to buying books (but I think it depends on country. Here in the Philippines, Kanji practice books are expensive.) 

NHK Japanese - Easy learner 

I use this app to practice my reading skills . It contains articles that are easy to read and understand. You can set your article to show 振りがな (ふりがな - kana over kanji to indicate pronunciation). When you click the kanji, it will show its meaning

You can play the audio, so you can imitate the pronunciation of each word. You can also download the article to read/listen offline.

NHK News Reader

Another app that I use to practice my reading skills, but this contains difficult article.

The same as the previous app, you can set it to show furigana, and you can click the kanji to read its meaning

Takaboto: Japanese Dictionary This is an offline dictionary. I really love this app because you can also learn each kanji used on the word, and also their stroke order.

I always use this app whenever I use the previous NHK app. This helps me to understand the meaning more. 

You can also learn how the word can be used on sentence by clicking the phrase tab.

I hope this will help for those who plan to study Kanji.

and recs for podcasts/songs/musicals?

The last few weeks have just been working, drinking coffee, rushing to catch lectures and then studying until late. On repeat. It has been so long since I’ve needed to study this much; but I can feel my french getting better everyday, so the hard work has been worth it ˚ʚ♡ɞ˚
