Studying in the New Year

Aspen Kumagai

It's almost 2023! During this time, a lot of people begin to make New Year's resolutions. They make plans to eat healthier or go to the gym more often. As for myself, I really want to study harder!

I've been studying Japanese for a few years now. But I'm embarrassed to say that my Japanese notes are messy. Some of them are lost in closets or crumpled up with other disorganized papers. However, a few months ago I started using the website and phone app called Notion.

I was able to organize all the notes from my textbook and lessons. I started keeping track of the new vocabulary I learned too. ˶ᵔ ᵕ ᵔ˶ After realizing how useful Notion was for studying Japanese, I decided to create an English study room for you.



  • I've added a list of resources for studying English as well as a few podcasts.
  • You can also keep track of the new vocabulary words you learn.
  • There's a section for writing prompts to practice thinking in English.
  • I've also added free grammar notes, dialogue scenes, and more.



This is a template. ˚*(੭*ˊᵕˋ੭*) That means you can change all the pictures and the colors to fit your personality. You should add pictures you like to inspire you to use the website.

You can get the template for free here.

I hope that Notion can help you study as much as it has helped me!
