In this occasion, I would like to talk about the goal that I have set for myself but haven't achieved yet. The goal is actually learning a new language, which is Japanese. The reason why this goal is essential to set is that I want to work overseas. I need to set certain goals if I want to learn through self-studying. A lot of people might take a school course or a short course to master this kind of skill, but I tried to make it more affordable so that I could save more money for myself and for life after I work overseas. I try to do self-studying and set goals every day in my life to learn it. For example, I start with the letters, then move to sentences, and then progress to more complex structures, providing grammar and whole paragraphs. The challenges I face when learning a new language, particularly this one, are that I need to practice very often; I need to do it regularly because it's not my mother tongue. It's not something that I have been exposed to since I was born, and there is a huge difference between the alphabet in my mother tongue, which is Indonesian, and the alphabet in Japanese. I need to memorize that and try to apply it in my daily life. I need to use it daily because if I don't, I will forget it a week later. I might remember only a small amount of material or just a few letters of the alphabet, not the whole alphabet. The challenge also comes from motivation sometimes because it is hard, so I sometimes lose motivation.
