Hi all,

Another small milestone to report: I’ve officially completed Chapter 3 of the Genki 1 textbook! It might not sound like much, but each chapter feels like a significant step forward.

This chapter dove deeper into particles, which have been a bit of a mental hurdle. Things like が (ga), を (o), and に (ni) are still tricky, but I’m starting to see patterns and develop a bit of an intuition for them. It’s less about rote memorization and more about feeling how they shape the sentence.

Slowly but surely, the pieces are coming together. Thanks for following along!

Best,

Oliver
