This December weekly study vlog is basically me spending a week studying Japanese, Mandarin Chinese, and a bit of linguistics on my own—while still keeping it cozy and realistic. I take you through Monday to Friday, showing what my actual immersion looks like (not the “perfect study day” fantasy): reading in Japanese, doing Chinese listening and speaking practice, and fitting in linguistics learning alongside everything else. It’s also the last weekly vlog of 2024, so the vibe is very end-of-year wrap-up and “let’s finish strong.” I also share the resources I’m using right now—like the “中国語でちょっといい話” listening content, Cafetalk for Chinese practice, and the Coursera course Miracles of Human Language for linguistics. For Japanese, I mention the books I’m reading (including 『こころ』 and 『キッチン』), because reading is a huge part of how I build vocabulary, stamina, and intuition in a holistic way. If you want a realistic look at balancing multiple languages with structure, motivation, and planning systems, this week is a pretty accurate snapshot of how I do it.
