Hello everyone
I’m motivated by everyone here, so I thought I’d start my own log study!
Intro
Currently studing for the jlpt N1 I love to read in Japanese and to play video games, although adult life made it hard to play like I used to sobs
Things I like for immersion
Fiction Books (books with strong friendship/family relationship)
Video Games
Manga
A variety Show Called “Kakeru” <3
Starting Dec 1st (Sunday), I’ll use the whole month to get back into my study routine and review a bunch of stuff before I start N1 prep again.
My 2025 Goals - check the link here for more details
Read 20 Books
Take N1 study seriously
Improve my Speaking → Take online classes
Improve my Writing (by keyboard not hand) → Writing blogs in Japanese
Read 40 vols of Manga

Finish the 366 Books (I have 2)
Apps & Website I will be using:

1 - 12 Jan Update
1- I started a new novel called 毒をもって僕らは (A recommendation from a Japanese booktuber)
2- I didn’t take any JP classes yet because I was away on vacation but I did book 10 classes today and I can’t wait for them already (First class is on the 19th of Jan)
3- I get back to my textbooks (Plan to finish Try N1 before May)
4- My goal is to study for 30 hours this month and as I said because I was on vacation I have only studied 6 hours and 46 minutes so far but I plan to study double the rest of the month so I can reach my goal (hour and 30 mins every day is good)
5- I get back to watch my fav show <3
6- Unfortunately I couldn’t make an account in note but I will try with it later, for now, I wrote half a page in Google Docs, simple and easy until I can think of what to write.

I want to write posts there, about books I read and things i like

Idrc whether I made it with VPN, but I do have one - so it i ran into a bunk like that I did. Are you trying on app or website. What is the error it gives?
it’s said お使いのネットワーク環境からは登録できません。別のネットワークや回線で再度お試しください。
I tried the web not the app (I think i need to try with the app now)
I also tried different network and different devices but nothing changed.

They does seem like VPN nonsense. Fwiw I’ve seen ppl mention this as a free VPN: Free VPN with no ads and no speed limits | Proton VPN
the link isn’t working with me orz
I will search for another vpn and if I didn’t work too i will just search for another jp web to write on
thank you Luna <3
