Hello everyone! It’s been a little over one month after my last update, but I’m back with my report as well as with some results.
I hade a nice rest from 22.01 to 06.02, have done only an hour or two of listening a day (anime&youtube) and a few volumes of manga that I bought earlier.
From 07.02 to 22.02 I had a challenge, 100 kanji on readings a day (usually on reading per kanji), and till this moment I have successfully learned 1400 kanji!
I used RTK2 order to learn kanji grouped by radicals.
Total time spent with kanji this way is 68 hours, and I think it’ll take some more to finish reviews.
I can say that this is probably one of the most satisfactory things to go from “oh there is text” to “Wow I can read almost everything!”, I can not put enough emphasis on how great it feels when you can read the word, and only things you need to think about is the meaning and pronunciation (pitch, mostly), to remember word at the moment I need to see it a smaller number of times than earlier. I think it was worth my time for all the 100%! Remembering them was challenging, and I had a lot of strategies, and changed them, but in the end, the best one that worked for me was to set up loops for learning a word to “1m, 3m, 10m, 30m, 1.5h, 4h, 12h” so I have this card in “learning” for good 2-3 days until it bounces off my tongue in a few seconds.
It was a very interesting experience and if you have any questions about it I’ll answer them!
Except that I was reading 1-2 hours a day and even added 100 anki cards from mining, as well as watched a few anime episodes a day.
Right now in 8 months, my energy is fully recovered, and the average time for dedicated study is over 5.5 hours for 2 later weeks!
Next
From now on I’m going fully into sentence mining and will be trying to add 80 sentence cards a day, I hope making cards will take about 2 hours off immersion and I hope to go though those 80 cards + review in 4 more hours of anki. I know that I can do 50 this way because of my experience with listening cards and those 100 cards that I have added during my kanji studies, not sure about 80, but I will start with high ground as I always do to ensure. I really wont to do 80 a day…
So yes, this post is a bit random because I wanted to express my feelings rather than general situation and skills, but I will do that as well with summary later, or now if someone cares)
Btw the total hours of study are 798 hours of dedicated studies, about 30 hours for manga, and about 400 hours for anime and youtube.
