Learning Japanese is hard, learning every language is hard especially if you are self studying. You need lot's of resources, textbooks and notebooks. But if you are like me, lazy and living under the roof of your parents (tight on cash) you would probably not want to walk to your local bookstore in this heat and buy a notebook from there. You would do just what I did, tear a few used pages of a notebook you have partially used and use the leftover pages.
Well, when I was 12, I got this passion to write book reviews, I wrote 3 and just like that my passion faded away and I left the book. And now I am putting the notebook to some use, saves money, saves paper .Classy , right? As of the textbooks and workbooks, the cheap one on Amazon wouldn't ship to Pakistan and the expensive ones would arrive after many months. If you know me, you know I am really impatient, so what I did was get some PDFs and print them out, easy as that. My dad will print my workbook and Basic Kanji Book. I will read my textbook from my computer. Until that is done, let's make a self study plan!
A self study plan is something I use for motivation, for example, if I get unmotivated, I will turn back to this page and return to my motivated self, hopefully. Basically In a self study plan, you write why you want to study the thing, what are your goals and what resources would you choose. Choose your resources wisely. I chose my textbooks after a lot of browsing and searching. I am basically choosing Genki I an Integrated Course to Elementary Japanese second edition, due to it's positive reviews. I got the workbook's PDF which went along with it and the Basic Kanji Book Vol 1. :D My next post is going to have lots about the books.
