Input hours update, Achivement/Milestone

Japanese Language
1

I just wanted to share a “small” victory/achivement/milestone as motivation, since i do not have any other people to share this with, im studying alone and have been at it for around 1 year now.

Finally this last sunday i hit 1000 hours of input, it feels nice and motivating to see the numbers, it has not been an easy road with alot of stress related things in life and setbacks and so on, however i have not missed a day, and that i’m proud of, some days there has only been time for 30 minutes and other days several hours. but the most important thing is to be consistent and dont feel bad if you dont get the input hours you want everyday, there are things in life you have no control over.

Now i will add more and more input during the days and looking forward to see how much more i understand at 2000 hours.

Already at 1000 hours it’s so nice to notice how much i really understand from when i started.

Good luck with your studies everyone, and if you do feel unmotivated just relax and maybe watch some “lower” level videos to realise how much you do really understand from when you started, it’s really motivational!:smiley:

I have mostly been watching NIJ Videos, and also some youtube, though the videos i watch on youtube are on the more easier side, since i have not found some “harder” kind of channels i like yet, (some channels like Japanese with shun & kensanokaeri (Ken 先生 channel) and also some にほんごのじかん, Listening is mostly Seika’s podcast (SeikaのJapanese Room) And some Japanese Podcast with Hana :slightly_smiling_face:
