This blog is not a study plan.
It is not a course.
And it is not something you need to “finish.”
Think of it as a place you can visit when you want Japanese to feel a little closer.
This blog is written in English on purpose.
It is not a place to practice Japanese.
It is a place to understand how Japanese learning works.
Here, I write about mindset, listening, and why stories matter.
The goal is not to study Japanese through English,
but to remove unnecessary pressure before you listen to Japanese itself.
This is not a study site
You don’t need to take notes here.
You don’t need to memorize anything.
And you don’t need to read every post.
This blog is not about studying harder.
It is about getting used to Japanese.
You can read one post.
You can skip five.
You can leave and come back later.
That is completely fine.
You don’t need to read in order
There is no correct order.
Some posts may feel easy.
Some may feel unclear.
Some may not feel useful yet.
That is normal.
Understanding does not happen in a straight line.
It grows quietly, through exposure.
If a title feels interesting, open it.
If it doesn’t, skip it.
It’s okay not to understand everything
You don’t need to agree with everything you read here.
You don’t need to understand every sentence.
If something feels familiar, that is enough.
Language learning is not about collecting explanations.
It is about letting meaning settle naturally.
A simple way to use this blog
You can think of it like this:
-
Feeling comes first
-
Then familiarity
-
And slowly, understanding
You don’t need to force this process.
Just stay with Japanese that feels possible for you.
If you’re curious
If you want to explore some posts that explain my learning approach more deeply, you can start anywhere.
Here are a few you might find interesting:
You don’t need to read them all.
You don’t need to read them now.
Just choose what feels right.
One last thing
You are not behind.
You are not slow.
And you are not doing Japanese “wrong.”
If Japanese feels a little more familiar today than yesterday,
that is progress.
That is enough.
