My Japanese learning is coming along quite well, slowly but surely and I don't get to spend much time studying which makes the progress slower. I've memorized the hiragana by just practicing writing over and over and saying them aloud. The flashcards I made haven't even been used. But that's okay, I want to learn to read, write and speak Japanese so this way has been the best way for me. I also have a few Japanese learning games on my phone which I use to test myself or to just play during breaks at work. I'm currently working on the greetings and learning the first vocabulary list in Genki. I can introduce myself in Japanese which is fun! I love little things like that, it feels good. I'm seeing one of my friends who studies Japanese at uni at the end of the month so maybe by then I can have a brief conversation with him.
