GENKI I: LESSON 3 NOTES

whoo. this lesson was long and hard. it took me around 12 hours over 4 days. most of the time was spent in the grammar section trying to understand all the particles that were thrown at you this lesson. nevertheless, i persevered and finished the workbook a few hours ago. this lesson also started giving kanji, which added extra time. i really love using jisho.org to look up kanji meanings and the stroke order. the interface is very nice and i highly recommend it! onward to lesson 4! how was your guys’ week?

A MIND MAP ABOUT MIND-MAPPING

If you know me, you’d know that I am a highly visual person. I love learning from images and layouts, and my spatial intelligence is probably my strongest type of intelligence. Because of this, I often use mind maps to study, and so do a lot of other people. However, there are people who don’t really know how to make and utilize a mind map effectively. That’s what this post is for! Here’s how you can make your mind maps more effective and thus enable you to retain more information. (P.S. you might wanna zoom in)

By no means am I an expert in mind-mapping; these are just some habits I have when making a mind map that successfully does its job of helping me remember the topics I’m studying.

If you have any questions, feel free to drop an ask!
