The book I am reading at the moment

Currently Reading: 『流星の絆』by 東野圭吾

by Inhae

To me, the best way to start reading again after a long period of trials and errors is to start a novel by Keigo HIGASHINO. The magic worked this time too, with the novel 『流星の絆』(りゅうせい の きずな). It is a very long novel (617 pages), but I am confident that if you like Higashino’s style, you will like everything, from the shortest short stories to...

"The more effort you put into something, the happier it will make you"

Shigesato Itoi

Welcome on my blog!

I am self-learning Japanese and I have created this blog to help me stay motivated, record my progress and give structure to my studies. I hope it can be useful or inspiring for others too!

I post three times a week!

I love learning languages, and I am the type who likes doing grammar exercises, loves kanji, and is bound to Anki for life. I like hoarding books, using fountain pens and notebooks, drawing and writing.

I am interested in Japanese literature, Japanese History and politics (and so many other things related to Japan.)

My main goals: be able to read challenging novels and the news in Japanese.
