Experiments log

Yesterday it’s been 100th day since I started my 毎日Ankiチャレンジ :partying_face:

Strategy with adding no new vocab is working so far. It seems like each time I do anki, I know it will take less time, and therefore I concentrate better. Yesterday I’ve managed to complete all the reviews in 11.5 minutes! I wonder how much time it takes for it to consistantly take only 5 minutes? What kind of graph progression will there be in 10/20 days :thinking: If you have any decks where you folks did something simmilar, could you share how did the graph went down?

One thing I want to try is to lower my desired retention. Now it’s set to 90%, but I feel like I have some 余裕, becase now I can recognise all the kanji when I see them very easily, and I feel like maybe forgetting how to write them is not that bad in a long perspective, as recognition remains for a much much longer time. But for now I’m sticking with 90% just to see how the graph goes down.

Some achivements

This week was full of new achivements!

  • I’ve invited my Japanese neighbour and we talked for two and a half hours, I’ve even managed to speak teineigo all the time, of course regularly forgetting to add です or ます, but othrewise it went pritty well!
    After the 茶会 I’ve asked what she thinks my week points are, and she said that it’s mostly builing teineigo on another teineigo ますのです. I myself feel pain every time I say it. Another the biggest one is 硬い言い方, by which she ment things like me saying 脳みそにきざまれる instead of just 脳に入れる. It’s true, till this day I want to use 姉上あねうえ instead of お姉さん. Thanks Gintama.

    But also she said that my usage of vocab is good enoguh! Eat that Gemini!

  • I found 幼稚園WARS a manga I like!
    It has a few intresting previews, and its アニメ化 is coming out in 2027. I picked it up because it has Sakamoto Days managa feeling, which I like a lot!
    It does not have any furigana, but when I read, I do not notice any words I don’t know! Well, there were three, and I’ve leared them already:
    お遊戯おゆうぎ - 殺し合い
    遊具遊具 - 遊びの道具 (that can be used to kill some people, but it’s not the main meaning)
    極秘ごくひ - 極端に秘密的な
    And I now when I try to recall there were a few new as well that I’ve leared, but I cannot remember what specifically those are.
    Of course, there are probably more words I don’t know then this, but it feels like my basics, got really good at this point, so I don’t really notice them. It feels like a big progress!
    On learnnatively 幼稚園WARS is L25. Acording to my sense of humor raised by stuff like Monty Python this is super funny ラブコメ

Cool PV!

PV with a song I cannot stop listening!

  • I found myself getting excited about not understnading content! Then I also got excited because I understood that it means I usually understand most stuff without thinking about it!
    And ye, I have times where I kind of “oh I don’t seem to be able to read that, shchit” but it goes more unnoticed now, more simmilar to english.

The 謎のコンテンツ is

I’ve been subscibed to this channel for a while, and it’s still a rock to climb, which I’m exceited about! Even a radio about which I was talking earlier now seems like a doable thig if I decide to crack it.

  • Yesterday, I wanted to do some French in the evening, but ended up watching youtube, reading comments, reading manga, talking on italki, all for 6 hours (23:00-05:00 あんまりに酷いな〜) and everything in Japanese!

I feel that this week was really good one! I’ve even managed to make a post not at 1am but before leaving for the language exchange!

Anyhow, thanks for reading, and good luck everyone in your studies!
