Self Assigned Homework?

Hi fellow language learners~
Do you give yourself homework? If so, what do you do?
I've found I do much better when I give myself homework with deadlines, and am curious what others do. 
Do you use dialogues, song lyrics, grammar exercises from books? Please tell me :) 

I give myself the following to study Japanese:

Study kanji vocab from song lyrics & drama dialogues, then try to translate the sentences
Grammar exercises from Genki
Practice sentences corrected on Lang8
Memrise
Lingodeer 

English <--> 日本語 I am looking for a Japanese language partner who is available anytime on weekends, or between 7-11am Japan time on weekdays to study together. Please contact me ^^ I can help with anything, even if it's just speaking, or correcting grammar. 

Looking for Japanese language partners! Hi there, I'm looking for Japanese language partners, hoping I can make some friends :) I can obviously help with English!

30 min once a week or 1hr every 2 weeks? I'm able to afford either 30 min every week, or 1hr every 2 weeks, for a language tutor here. 
My assumption is it's better to do the hour every 2 weeks, because a half hour seems too short, like we'd get through the homework and warming up and then it's over. 
But maybe I'm wrong, and those of you who have tried the half hour lessons have insight I don't. 
Please share your opinions with me :)

Motivation to Learn a Language Hello all! 
I'm interested in learning what keeps you motivated in learning your target language. 
For me, I'm juggling Italian and Korean, and both for very different reasons.
I have family in Italy who I wish to visit again, and actually converse with, but Italy itself doesn't hold much for me as far as motivation. Their music is ok, and while I love the cities, it's not enough to get me motivated to speak. The family is though ;) I'm just learning so slowly! 
Korean on the other hand, has a culture that captivates me, their music is very diverse and I'm drawn to it, they have amazing dramas, and their language is much more of a challenge - which makes me want to learn it, haha. But because it's so different from English, I really struggle with how slow my pace is. I know any progress is good, but I feel like I'm a snail, and it's very disheartening. 

Fun fact: the only thing about Korea that doesn't fascinate me is the food - I can't handle anything remotely spicy, and I dislike most seafood. If you know of Korean dishes that don't involve those 2 things, let me know some names so I can look them up! ^^

#1 - Daily Routine E' mattina ora come mi sveglio. Ho bisogno di lavarmi i denti e nutrire i miei due gatti, Bunker e Rio. Bunker ha un anno e mezzo, ama il cibo, e miagola fino a che non si stufa. Rio ha dodici anni ed e' ben comportati. Dopo di loro nutro, ora sto ottenendo vestito per il lavoro. Io guido per quindici minuti al lavoro. Poi, quando ho finito con il lavoro, visito i miei genitori. A volte cucino la cena per loro, o fare shopping per loro. Quando torno a casa, cucino per il mio ragazzo e io, faccio le faccende, pratico pianoforte, e leggo se ho tempo. Anche voglio studiare, spero che un giorno posso leggere romanzi italiani. Nutro i gatti ancora una volta prima di andare a dormire.

Levels of respect in speaking Are there only three levels of respect? Honorific, Formal/Polite, and Informal/Casual ? For example: 1. 미안합니다 2. 미안해요 3. 미안해 1 I would use with elders/strangers/anyone older than me who I don't know. 2 I would use with teachers? Or even adults I know? People from school who I'm not necessarily friends with? 3 Friends and family? It's hard for me to distinguish where the line is drawn, I know everyone has a different relationship with people in their lives, but as a general rule to begin with? :)

좋은 아침입니다 ? I learned 좋은 아침입니다 today, but would I say this to friends or family? In what situations do I use this? What ways do I use 좋은 아침입니다 with close friends, acquaintances, and family?
