I feel motivated right now due to all the true learners on this board.
Three more books to finish and I'll be back in the game (after six months of quasi-nothingness). Thanks to you guys, it almost feels like I've never left.

also got my vocab deck down from a 1,000 due cards to 200ish

Just to mention it, it's better that people don't write things like this in this thread.

@jettyke sorry bout that. *erased*

I feel motivated because:
- I've managed to add 25 new kanji a day for the last week, for the first time in ages, and I feel like I'm finally back in the groove.  The number of reviews is manageable, I'm making a little progress every day, and my recall percentage is holding steady.
- Started reviewing Core2K in Anki a couple of weeks ago and even though I don't know all of the kanji yet, some of the ones I didn't know a little while ago, I know now.  I can see that I'm getting somewhere!

And finally, I feel motivated because I was supposed to have arrived in Tokyo today.  I haven't gone, due to the earthquake and other problems, but this delay has made me even more determined that when I do go, my Japanese will be that much better.

I'm massively motivated to learn Japanese right now, as I'm making decent progress (10 new sentences, 20 new vocab items per day), and reviews are getting easier, Motivation comes from the fact that each time I learn a new word, I seem to see it popping up in Japanese tv or websites or somewhere, very cool!

This thread "What would you do in 150 days?" made me remember that I have to deal fast with all kinds of uni entrance papers and stuff. Community is a good thing ^^
Sometimes reading and remembering about my goals gets me motivated!

I searched for, found and downloaded 18 presumably very dope Hip hop albums I haven't heard yet!
Lot's of new fresh motivating music to last me for a week or some!
Fresh and new is good.

Hey everyone, this is my first post here!

Not as impressive as the others, but here it goes:I'm motivated because I (finally) passed N4 after years of being a slacker/chronic pessimist! Since I've passed I've been studying for N3 and things are starting to "click" more and more. I'm also really motivated by reading everyone else's positive attitudes on this forum. So...thanks!

It's summer for 2 weeks and I still have 3 months to kill. Finally started to take a serious tab at Japanese grammar.

Just counted and have 12 windows open, not including tabs on browser. 3x anki deck + search/add new windows, pdf, evernote, timer.

Oh yeah, ass kicking mode:on.

reading this 2-ch matome

because I'm better at reading than wakabayashi except for the word nenpou which i haven't heard thus far. plus the 2-ch matome is just hilarious and i've realized just how scary the japanese internet can be.

i'm super motivated because the routledge course in japanese translation came today, and i have a whole new palace of language to explore

i've wanted a proper project to work hard on again for ages now, but wasn't sure what to try next. i wonder if this'll be it?

Been steadily increasing my conversation lately.  A few months ago I could read but always spoke in short sentences, but lately suddenly I've found I can explain long stories without much effort.  And understand the replies without much effort too.

Definitely helps with the motivation:)
