First week of the year and first lessons of the year.

Tell me: how do you say "happy new year" in your target language?

I know there are others learning German here so I'll use the Austrian version:

Prosit Neujahr!

あけおめ！ There's also a customary response, ことよろ, short for 今年もよろしくお願いします, with the classic impossible-to-translate Japanese word, yoroshiku. Here I see it as a "looking forward to our continued friendship/relationship/partnership this year."

I'm back on the textbook trail this week. Still spending more time on listening and it's...okay. Just trusting the process that it'll get smoother. I guess I do have a focus issue with listening, so gonna do my best to work with it.

Also started the Dragon Quest III Remake. It doesn't have full furigana support, which is a little annoying, but it's workable. Already feeling pretty good about it after my first session.
