Hi there! I just completed one week of accountability project with my Italki group teacher, we used WhatsApp to communicate daily what we did according to our goal (teacher is also studying a language). This worked really well for me and I am looking for partner to join until my December exam. Can add/change other means of channel than WhatsApp but given I am working full time, new mum with a baby and other stuff, cannot be too complicated.
Some facts about me:
JLPT story: I am in my end 30s, passed N3 in December 2024 with big baby belly, failed N2 December 2025 still recovering from birth, now want to pass 100% sure in December 2026!
Location/ timezone: I am based in New York, not American (European), and at least twice a year for a longer period in Japan. I get up quit early so I am often connected with Europe and/or Southeast Asia time zone . Basically time zone doesn’t matter to me :D
Resources: I am using now Quartet 1 (N3, review) and Quartet 2 (N2, some reviews) as it follows a path accompanied with a weekly group course. Supplementing with Bunpro, Migaku, and Japagesepod101(for listening mainly). I also always read 1 book in Japanese, currently Atomic Habits after someone super helpful here gave me advice!. I am aware of most Japanese resources (completed Wanikani) and have a large selection of Japanese language books (mentioning in case study partner is seeking advice ). I am a BIG FAN of Focusmate :)
Please let know if can commit and preferred mode and then we can decide via DM way forward!
