The book I am reading at the moment

Currently reading: 『こころ』by 夏目漱石

by Inhae

I have always considered that reading Soseki in Japanese would be one of the greatest achievement of this whole Japanese journey. Since I heard from a Japanese that reading Soseki was hard for Japanese too, I thought I would keep it for “when I am fluent” or something like that. What made me buy 『こころ』the other day was this particular cover that I found...

"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 of Japanese learner 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.
