Goals for the semester

Because I didn't really do much over break I thought it would be best to think about last semester and the things that I should improve on.

The first thing I realized coming back is that there was a lot of kanji that I didn't remember. I'm going to better my knowledge of kanji by making flashcards and trying to find a website, that helps learn the kanji. Another point is that I'm going to try and use kanji in my writing more since the more I use it the better I'll remember it.

Last semester I rarely did the audio drills that were given each night, which was probably not the best idea. This semester I'm going to spend more time studying Japanese every night,. While the content this semester so far seems to be only slightly harder than last semester, there seems to be a lot more work. I expected this when registering for this semester.

Overall I need to do the following:

• Practice Kanji more
• Do the audio drills more
• Write more complex sentences to practice grammar
• Review the particles that go will each verb and different scenarios
