#add1challenge - Erik's Japanese application - Jan 15 - Apr 15

Hey guys! My name is Erik, I'm 26 years old and I'm from Gothenburg, Sweden. When I first heard about the Add1Challenge a couple months ago it was unfortunately already to late for me to apply for it, so I missed that opportunity, but I'm not gonna do the same mistake this time. In less than a week from now, I'm starting my first semester of Japanese here at the Gothenburg University. And actually two years ago I started studying Mandarin Chinese, but it's gonna be a little bit different this time. Not only have I acquired a lot learning skills when it comes to learning languages and I know a lot [more] about myself, but I've also prepared with some resources and tools and apps that I will use during this semester. Apps like Memrise, when it comes to remembering vocabulary. I will use a podcast called the OpenLanguage. They've been around for maybe 7 or 8 years when it comes to Chinese and I think it was maybe a month ago they started with Japanese so it's gonna be really fun starting with that, as well as writing kanji, the Japanese characters, using Skritter. I've got a pretty good sense of how far I got after my first semester of Chinese. So it's gonna be fun, when my semester of Japanese is finished, to compare those two. I think I'm gonna see a lot of differences. Hopefully, in a good way. During these 90 days I will keep a journal-- --I will keep track with a journal. I will write it every day, and after the first week, after 45 days and on day 91 I will record a video of me, talking about my progress. Actually on day 91, I will record a video with me, chatting with a native Japanese having just a chit-chat. So, I'm really looking forward to this. I hope you will follow me. Just subscribe to the channel, check out the Add1Challenge hashtag and have a good one. Bye!
