🙋 Language goals for 2024? How did you do in 2023? ✨

Quarterly check-in:

Read 35 total novels

8/35

I’m p much on track for this one so far; 25% of 35 is 8.75.

Read a “classic” novel

I’d had こころ lined up for both this and the “higher Natively level than read before” square, but then I ended up going with 夢十夜 (same author, but a series of short short stories) for the box instead, so I’ve still got nothing for this.

Read 4 nonfiction books (may or may not count as novels)

0/4

Read 175 manga

10/175

Read all of the 黒子のバスケ main series in January (it’s 30 volumes, so should be doable providing I succeed in staving off burnout) | stretch goal: read the two volumes of EXTRA GAME as well

Yeah, this very much did not happen lmao. I got most of the way through vol 7 before basically getting burned out, though not so much on the series as on manga in general. My mental health has been basically poop since the end of last year, and several days I’ve only done like the bare minimum to keep up my reading streak, and I’ve barely touched manga at all. Even getting back into a beloved series (I watched the anime twice years ago, have a bunch of character songs, and have read a bunch of fic and DJs and written a few fic myself) that I’d been dying to read couldn’t save me lol

Listen to something other than songs at least once a month

Ohhh I forgot I was gonna do that. I haven’t exactly kept a record of anything. I know I listened to the 『明日をくれた君に、光のラブレターを』の朗読 at one point, though I don’t remember when and I don’t remember if I listened to any audio dramas at all this year. I did watch some anime and dramas in Jan and Feb though.

I’ve been playing Dragon Quest X Offline, which is partially voiced, since the 29th, so that’s March down. Doesn’t count for much, but it’s still some.

Make progress on BunPro (N5: 126/126 | N4: 104/177 | N3: 2/217 | N2: 3/210 | N1: 1/180)

N5: 126/126 | N4: 107/177 | N3: 3/217 | N2: 5/210 | N1: 1/180
