Study method / tips

Congrats on passing N2 :smiley:

Having the same criteria would make me fail a lot of reviews lol, but I understand its efficiency. If I actually take my time, I find that I understand the sentence as a whole semi good most of the time. I’m using the Wanikani integration which hides furigana for known kanji so I hope they will complement eachother nicely. In time, I want to be able to do full immersion.

I see many people reset Bunpro, but cannot get the reason why, doesn’t it seem like you can just continue doing reviews and when grammar that you don’t know well appears in a sentences going though all the explanations/sentences/resources linked/same genki to finally understand it?

This way you don’t have to go though things you already know one more time and brain works with higher capacity I can imagine

That was my original plan but then I saw my statistics for grammar. I also wanted to follow along Genki and see how I find it. The way I see it is that previously understood grammar will move up easily while I can study harder items properly now.

It also helps that I’ve only done Bunpro for a little over a month so there’s not that much of a time loss. I imagine I would have a harder time resetting if I was further along.

Makes perfect sense to me.

Why I asked, is because that type of a move is not for me. I find it quite boring going though topics I’m already familiar with and doing very easy exercises, because I physically cannot do them. Therefore I skip a lot and it starts feeling kind of bad-structured with some tasks that are like “I should do that but I know 3/4 of it” and I struggle with decision-making about doing it or not.

Therefore I’m choosing the method where everything is based on an appropriate, specifically for me, level

I understand that as well and is partially the reason why I left Duolingo a little while ago. You would get to a new exciting point, then you would spend a tedious amount of time going over material you clearly already understand.

I kind of like that about Bunpro, you can mold it to suit your needs a lot.

When I reset it was because I knew the content, I also didnt fully have it grasped and understood and was kinda stuck in a weird srs hell, but is wasnt so bad where I stopped continuing with the studies because not understanding was holding me back. I am also not a person to use the Cram feature simply because it doesnt vibe with me as well (When it comes to the grammar) so I personally didnt mind because I was speed running the grammar anyway. Its certainly not something I recommend for most people. And my suggestion was only before a test where you are adding it to the front so its nice and fresh in your mind.
