Since I have a serious problem with self motivation when it comes to studying, I though I'd make this thread to help me motivate myself by making myself accountable to some other people.

The format will be like this: starting on the 24th, and continuing every week starting and ending at 0000 GMT+10 Monday, I will study 5 hours a week, usually 1 hour a day. If the deadline is up and I haven't completed 5 hours, I will pay out out $50 AUD or more in cash or items to a random forum member who has posted in this thread in that week for every hour that I've missed. If I give up the challenge within 1 year, I will pay out $250 or more AUD to forum members who have posted in this thread in the last month, selecting 3 members to receive $50 and the remaining $100 will be divided up into Supporter tags for the remaining posters.

The subject I'll be studying at the moment is Japanese. I'll may post updates after session to talk about the material and what I've learnt. Wish me luck.

Boyinaband had to motivate himself by having his sister donate several $K to the church of Scientology if he didn't straighten up.

I'm used to studying people's habits, when they go to sleep, when they get up, their family and friends, what way they take to go to work. So I'm sure I can help you with whatever you need.

1/5 hours done. Found my textbook, mainly doing revision of kana and all the stuff in my textbook I've already done, might take a while until I start working up to new material.

I sleep for 12+ hours on the weekend, and sleep for 1-5 hours on weekdays. Honestly I just want some strong sleeping tablets that will knock me out because I suck at going to sleep on time.

But doujins contain kanji, aren't they? If you're planning to learn only hiragana and katakana then you're going nowhere.

I never said I wasn't gonna learn kanji

time to memorise 10 billion+ individual characters to read a children's book because the Japanese were too lazy to come up with their own alphabet and just copied the Chinese

this reminds me of when i tried to learn japanese. i never went past memorizing their alphabet

I was actually top of my class in Japanese for a year, only got one question wrong on the end-of-year test. But the teacher expected me to keep up that level of performance and I couldn't keep up with the pressure, so I stopped going. Hence my problems with committing myself.

Besides that, my other goal is to pull back and shoot a 150lb warbow (for comparison, bows used by Olympic recurve archers are usually around 40-50lb). I'll keep you guys updated on that, don't expect anything for a few years though.

3/5 hours done, hold me back niggas

I've finally finished revising all of the material that I've done before: memorising kana, times, numbers, counting, requesting and buying objects, greetings, nationalities and ownership, and some vocab. What I've started on now is transportation verbs and verb tenses, stuff I'm pretty solid on but it wouldn't hurt to go over it in this book.

Also your accent is fucked unless you're a native Spanish speaker or similar. Most if not all of the sounds are extremely similar.
