Have you done your BunPro Review today?

Leveled up to 20 today!

I think I might be going a bit slow with adding grammar points because I see lots of people with big review queues (in the hundreds) and I’m sitting here trying not to let my ‘next day’ count get past the 20s and 30s :sweat_smile: It’s probably because studying new points takes so much time. I hope to finish N5 by early next month and do a huge cram session to really make it sink in and see what I need extra work on.

When it comes to Japanese-Japanese dictionaries, I am simply using websites like goo and alc.

Did my BP reviews. WK is taking a permanent backseat for the time being. I am way more focused on learning the relevant words for the book I’m reading (FloFlo) and the N2 (Torii).

Up to section 15 in Kanzen Master. : )

@jamie Thanks.

Yesterday turned into a great day for Japanese. WK and BP reviews. Got to level 19 here on BP.

10 new vocab on WK plus 20 radicals. Level 9 didn’t unlock with as much vocab so I’m planing to mix it up a bit, but with the biggest amount of lessons on vocab (except for yesterday).

Three new lessons on BP: てから, ないでください, and な. Really noticed how not hitting the four hour review on time meant I created ghosts for two of those lessons already. Haha. -.-’

I probably won’t finish N5 by Jan 31, but if I get back in the groove, I hope to be done only up to a week after that. :slight_smile:

Greetings.

WK is getting more and more challenging now, with multiple mnemonics for vocabulary words :sweat_smile: I’m glad to know that I can use the knowledge to build my own mnemonics for other vocab outside WK.

  • I’m getting less and less reviews on BP for one day, so I’ll add 3 new lessons today. Still not clearing up ghosts, 6 left. I’ll worry about it and accuracy when I finished N4.
  • I’m still having trouble differentiating てくれる and てもらう, I’ll read all the sentences and study it tonight.

I wish cram session had inputs for how many to study and not randomly putting out the sentences. Many times I got the same sentences over and over again.

Yesterday became an unplanned rest day. I guess that is appropriate for Sunday. I had lunch, a long walk and then tea with a friend. Did my reviews but didn’t get around to lessons. ^^

Long time no check in.

Proud to say I’m on an 8-day streak in Bunpro, and I finished studying the last of the Genki vocab in Anki! Did 6 new kanji in KKLC over the weekend, so I’m up to #204.

Haven’t checked in here for a while. Been doing all my reviews, but not added any BP lessons for a while. WK I’m struggling through the level 11 kanji. Still 5 more to add, all the radicals guru’d. I tend to not use the mnemonics so struggle at the beginning with lots of failures till they stick. On Torii I’m trying to add up to 30 items a day, it helps that most of them are words I know, but when there is an alternate word for something I know another term for I struggle. Haven’t done any JP reading or writing for a while…

I’ve cleared up WK radical for the current level, had 54 lessons for the current level. I am thinking to go full speed to clear this level fast, since there’s only 50% left for the kanji :sweat_smile:

  • Level up to 28, got my first exorcist badge. Reviews are still low for next day but won’t add new lessons because I had a lot of ghosts to tackle due to new lessons yesterday, I’ll study all the sentences tonight :sweat_smile:
  • Still confusing てくれる and てもらう if there’s short sentences.
  • Found out that feeling がる can be conjugated to present continuous form to がっている
  • No mistake on はじめる but confusing はじめる and はじまる

Back into the swing yesterday. Reviews on WK and BP. 12 vocab and 3 kanji lessons on WK, trying out this method of spacing kanji out over several days instead of four batches of 10ish. I’ll see if I like it and if it gets me through vocab fast enough or if I’ll need to up the vocab. (Basically every 5 batch of lessons have 4 vocab and 1 kanji.)

Did three lessons on BP: てはいけない, たほうがいい, and ないほうがいい. Pretty glad both ほうがいい came together, but I almost always put て form for the first one. I have a feeling I will have a lot of ghosts for these…

Did my reviews today.

I studied the first grammar point of Genki Chapter 21 (passive form) , and did the textbook exercises last night, so I added it to my reviews today.

Did WK with no mistake. Feeling good, adding more lessons today :grin:
I got 1 mistake on BP, for conjugation command ないで. I don’t feel bad when I got the conjugation wrong :sweat_smile: at least I got the grammar part right.
No more lessons today so it will be slow day.

Good afternoon!

  • Despite of having broken eyeglasses for two or three days, I hit 0 review today on BP!
  • I haven’t zeroed my reviews on WK. There are still 5 items left right now. Levelled up from WK level 22 to 23 on Jan 28th, 2019 (two days ago in my timezone).
  • I haven’t zeroed my 10k anki. The last time I zeroed it was a day before yesterday as far as I remember.
  • I wrote a draft for mrnoone about my yomichan progress, but it turned out to be too long, I need to check it again whether I say it right or not, but my eyes & limited English won’t cooperate well, so I saved it again as a draft on my Evernote. I’ll continue checking it & posting it here in the end after I got my glasses maybe.
  • I think I’ll search/read again the difference between のような and みたいな.
  • I reached Study Streak 60 on BP. I only added three lessons though about two or three days ago. I like this pace. I don’t feel overwhelmed and I still keep going well on WK without feeling burnt out but still killing leeches on WK and killing ghosts on BP.
  • Will go to the doctor this afternoon, to get a recommendation letter to examine my eyes again at eyes doctor (for free, excluding repaired/new eyeglasses though). Anyway. Will be half blind in about a week maybe. Astigmatisms.

I did my reviews. Still not a good percentage but I’m not too worried.
Did sections 16-18 in Kanzen Master N2 Grammar.
50% done with N2 vocab on Torii. At this rate I might as well start N1 vocab right after.

After trying weekend, I took a bit of a rest day yesterday. I did my reviews once during the day but no new lessons. I hope I can have less big interruptions for a while so I can get N5 finished here. I want to start reading, but I wanted to at least finish N5. Considering I only have 19 points left, I could be done in two weeks or less, and delaying reading that long is nothing.

Did my reviews and added てある from Genki Chapter 21.

Reviews as normal. Did my first all N5 cram session on BP. Only about 20 items, but loads of stuff I haven’t seen in a long time, which was good to revise.

Today was the 3rd of my 2nd term of Japanese (group) lessons, and after last week, I was thinking it was a mistake to sign up to the 2nd term as I really didn’t enjoy it. But I had a lot of fun this lesson and we were putting longer sentences together and I found it beneficial, so I’m glad I continued and hope it’s going to continue to be fun and educational!

A slow day here. Less reviews today but I’m glad since I couldn’t use my PC and my Mac has run out of battery while I’m outside. I hate doing lots of reviews on my phone, WK is already hell typing hundreds of reviews :sweat_smile:

  • Got my second badge of Exorcist and 40K xp badge
  • I’ll add 3 new lessons today.
  • Still have trouble memorizing long term かもしれない, there’s a sentence that uses short version かも, is that the same?

Level 20 here! Feels good man.

Three lessons on BP and reviews: ましょう, ね, and まだ.
12 vocab and 3 kanji lessons on WK. Level 9 radicals gurud too. And reviews, of course.

I prioritized Japanese over some other things yesterday in a way I didn’t like. I need to remember that while I want to learn Japanese I can’t do that instead of certain other things. I really wish lessons on BP and WK took me less time, but I also don’t want to have to sort out learning in reviews. Also reminded again that missing the four hour window for the first review means I basically forget most everything, although I don’t seem to forget it on the second four hour window even if that one is late too.

Finished all my N5 grammar today!

Granted, I still have a lot of reviews to go before I’m proficient in all of it, but I’m pretty excited. I plan to do cram mode for all of it over the weekend before I start N4. Also got a 40 day study streak. Leveled up to 6 on WK as well, so all in all a very productive day.
