I was cleaning my old bags and found some of the papers I used to practice japanese in

I started learning ~9 years ago. For kanji, I used kanjidamage reordered deck in anki. For every kanji, I would practice writing it too as I felt it helped me memorize better. Although I've forgotten how to write by hand now haha.

My Japanese now is high enough to let me enjoy media without struggling. I sometimes forget how much effort and time I put to reach where I am now. It's a long journey but very very rewarding! I don't regret a minute I spent on Japanese and if I were to redo it again, I would choose Japanese every time!
