Do you keep a journal? あなたはジャーナルがありますか？ Hello! I have recently decided to keep a journal and write about my daily activities in Japanese (to the best of my ability of course xD ) I never really liked the idea of writing in a journal in general, it seems tedious and repetitive. However, I figured it might help me think a bit in Japanese; or it can be a form of passive study. Also, maybe months from now, I will look back and realise how much I have actually learnt; that is, but looking at all my mistakes C: I guess it might be a sort of long term motivator? I was wondering if anyone else also writes a journal in the language they are learning? (In any language, not just Japanese) Do you find that it is helpful in the long run? Why do you keep a journal?
