I did a lot today. I did about an hour of practice questions for my cosmetics exam, and a level 4 pharmacology practice exam. I’m aiming to take level 3 in June, but I’m starting with level 4 tests and building up. I also spent about 2 and a half hours reading my Keiichiro Hirano novel and made a lot of progress on it.

I made progress on my Keiichiro Hirano novel. I’m about 60% of the way through. I didn’t have chance to study for my cosmetics and pharma exams, but hope to get back onto those tomorrow.

11th February 2021 – Japanese
I did an hour of practice questions for the level 1 cosmetics exam, and made progress on the novel “A Man” by Keiichiro Hirano. I wasn’t going to read any novels until after my exam, but I couldn’t resist!
7th February 2021 – Japanese
I spent an hour or so studying my cosmetics exam textbook. I just got a new novel by Keiichiro Hirano though, and I’m keen to start reading that. I haven’t read any of his works before. I need to study, but I think the pull of the novel will be too strong!
3rd February Update
Not much language study going on this year! I’ve had a busy start to the year, and am conscious of the cosmetics and pharmacology exams which are creeping up on me. The only study I’m doing at the moment is listening to French and Chinese in my car. The rest of my spare time is taken up studying for the tests. I still aim to take the 3rd grade on the French exam in June though. I wanted to take the 3rd grade of HSK (Chinese) in April, but I don’t think that will happen. It will mean going to Osaka, and we are not supposed to travel around because of COVID19. Hopefully I’ll get some language study done this weekend!
