THE LEARNING NOTEBOOK

Things I'm learning,
one experiment at a time.

I'm curious about a lot of things. This is where I keep track of the skills I'm learning, returning to, or hoping to explore someday.

01   THE IDEA

I don't want learning to always feel like something I have to finish.

Some things I learn because I want to become good at them. Some because I'm curious. And some simply because I want to know what it feels like to try.

This page is a place to keep those things together — including the awkward beginnings, small improvements, abandoned attempts, and things I eventually come back to.

Learning to speak, not just study.

My current language interests revolve around speaking, listening, and becoming more comfortable actually using the language.

02 CURRENT

中文

Mandarin

Exploring Mandarin with an emphasis on speaking and getting familiar with tones.

Mandarin → Speaking first
03 RETURNING

日本語

Japanese

Returning to Japanese after several years away and slowly rebuilding familiarity.

Japanese → Starting again
04 EXPLORING

한국어

Korean

A language I'm interested in exploring alongside my other language-learning journeys.

Korean → Someday

Skills I'm slowly figuring out.

Not everything needs to become a serious project. Sometimes I just want to see where curiosity takes me.

01

LEARNING

Guitar

Learning to play guitar from the beginning. Chords, songs, practice sessions, and hopefully eventually being able to play something without thinking too much about where my fingers go.

02

PRACTICING

Chess

Playing games, making mistakes, learning from them, and slowly understanding the game beyond simply knowing how the pieces move.

03

FUTURE

Drawing & Painting

Something I'd like to spend more time exploring. No particular plan yet — just the desire to make things with my hands.

04

OPEN

Whatever comes next

There will probably be another skill here eventually. That's part of the fun.

A SMALL REMINDER

I don't have to be good at something before I'm allowed to enjoy learning it.

This page is allowed to contain unfinished things.
