So well, it has been long since the last time I wrote something here about my future. Actually, I have been just complaining about something [girls] and just writing compositions I did as an assignment. Then I haven´t actually done what I am supposed to do; study.
I got a job [three actually] and since that happened I stopped doing my activities I used to do about learning languages. Plus my iPod broke down and because it was my source for learning Japanese I told myself that I would start again until I got a new one. Unfortunately [stupid] Apple is not releasing the iPod Touch 5G until [maybe] October 4th… but the problem is that it might not be on sale by that date but a week later which means October 12 or the like.
Call me crazy but I need and iPod Touch to learn kanji. Why? Well I just developed my own routine for learning kanji, and it includes using the iPod , therefore I NEED one to start again. Yet, what is really worrying is that the longer I stay without an iPod the worse it gets to learn kanji.
Next December I will be taking both the Japanese and English Language Proficiency Tests. This time both are pretty difficult and I just have 68 days [form today and not counting 4 days because a congress] to go. So what is the plan?
Since I leave work at 3 pm I have pretty much from 7 to 8 hours per day [counting one hour for meals] to get into these two languages. So my new and remastered schedule will be like this:
I have one book for learning the grammar in both cases and the iPod will be arriving on October so, as for English my book has 90 [actually 100] units which means 2 pages per day [which is kinda silly because 2 pages cover only one topic. So I will end up learning more than one per day though.
Then as for Japanese my book has 15 units that covers the Intermediate level. Each unit has an average of between 15 and 20 pages. Then I would have to read and learn 7 per day. I think 4 or 5 hours for Japanese would be enough.
Seriously people, I need to get those two certificates….. and I will! 😀
