2013 Reflections and 2014 Resolutions - AlgoRhythmic - 2014-01-05
2013:
Finished RTK.
Finished Tae Kim with anki deck.
Finished Core6k.
Completed 15+ video games in Japanese.
Read 25+ volumes of manga in Japanese.
I don't have very specific 2014-goals, but I want to do at least the below mentioned things:
Finish Core10k.
Start reading real books and not just manga in Japanese.
Keep consuming entertainment overall in Japanese.
Maybe try taking the JLPT if I feel like it (don't have any use for it, would be mostly to see how well I do).

So for 2014 I will make an complete restart of my japanese learning. Already gathered all the books needed and planned my daily schedule to succeed.
I did plan everything and even when I'm gonna learn what and how much, because in my first failed learning attempt I noticed, that an unplaned schedule was the reason for it.
Here are my goals:
- Finish Genki 1 + all vocabulary inside
- Finish Genki 2 + all vocabulary inside
- Finish An Integrated Approach to Intermediate Japanese + all vocabulary inside
- Finish Rtk 1
- Gather vocabulary from the Fate/Zero Light Novel (and some of other sides, but mostly Manga or other things where I'm interessted in)
Goal at the end of the Year 10.000 vocabulary.
After I'm done with An Integrated Approach to Intermediate Japanese I'm gonna buy the real copy of Fate/Zero and read it.
After everything I'm gonna give one unsubbed Anime episode an try and see what I can do and where I have to focus my next study's to.

For everyone who is interested in Fate/Zero here's an very nice, official site of them where you can read http://www.fate-zero.jp/novels/index.html
You can read the Prologue + Act 1 and 2 of it in the web browser and simply add vocabulary via Rikaichan.

Studying Japanese has really helped me rebuild my confidence, however, and things have been starting to look a little brighter.Good stuff. Stick around, 頑張ってね。ことよろ。
皆、頑張りましょう！
2013 Reflections and 2014 Resolutions - hyvel - 2014-01-07
After moving back to my home country the immediate urgency for learning Japanese has completely vanished. In my current situation there are hardly any benefits to knowing Japanese, which is why I find it increasingly hard to dedicate time for learning it. Hence learning Japanese has quite a low priority for me now, so my goals are set accordingly.
Resolutions for 2014
-Cover about one page per day in N1新完全読解 (Mainly because I actually enjoy reading those texts). After that, continue with N1新完全文法
-Finish Kanji in Context (at least the words that I deem somewhat useful, ~1500 left to go)
-Finish reading ご冗談でしょう、ファインマンさん. Or read any of the other books that I brought home with me.
-Keep my speaking and listening skills intact, especially because there is a reasonable chance of me having to act as an interpreter on a trip to Japan together with a colleague later this year.
Bonus
-Attempt JLPT N1 in July (seems unrealistic) or December if I get a surge of motivation and enough free time to go through a reasonable part of N1新完全文法
Besides those vague goals, I guess it's mostly about keeping in touch with Japanese and enjoying it, rather than forcing a ridiculous schedule upon me which would only result in getting overwhelmed and quitting the grind.

2014 Resolutions:
-Read as much as schedule and available mental energy allows every day.
-Fully recover from running injury and slowly work towards 10ks
-Get a dollfie
-Finally get round to going to Comike
-Get back to gaming regularly
Everything else is just stuff I have to do like study programming and graduate without hiccup, or was going to do anyway, like keeping up with anime.
5-10 year resolutions:
-Become native level in Japanese in every respect
-Get good at drawing
-Start writing novels or manga in Japanese
