Hm, started up Anki again as I wasn't putting in much time studying. I did translate a
few articles and watched plenty of Korean dramas the past two weeks, but didn't do much studying. My plan for now is just five words a day per language (Korean, Japanese and Mandarin). I'm doing simple vocabulary cards. I'll ramp up the daily card count probably sometime in the summer of 2016, when I'm all done with studying for the CPA exam and done with my first busy tax season. I think the busy season for me will only go to March 15 since I'll be working on corporate tax returns, but I'll still expect to be busy through the traditional April 15 deadline. However, my main project with Anki this year will be to put every sentence from my grammar books into Anki and review them with cloze deletions. Something different I'm doing this time is reading out the sentences, combining two grammar exercises into one. I believe I can at least finish my one Korean textbook and at least one each of the Japanese and Mandarin textbooks before this semester is over, but we'll see. I need a lot more grammar so that I can start writing more in Japanese and Mandarin instead of just using the beginner's grammar. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

I have only been putting in five cards a day for Korean, Japanese and Mandarin, but
since I cloze each syllable, it creates multiple cards for each sentence, so the reviews are adding up fairly quickly. I am thinking of turning this into a multi-year project and using this as a daily review for grammar. I really like Anki for grammar, but I need to remember to use Anki as a tool for remembering instead of initial learning. That is why I'm just going to input about 3-5 sentences per day per language and just around 5 words a day for vocabulary review. My goal with this is to keep the daily number of reviews fairly low. I want to treat Anki is the motivator to keep me studying everyday, but I don't want it to take up too much of my time. For example, 5 words a day for 5 years is over 9,000 words. And that will just be a secondary way for me to learn vocabulary. I doubt I'll have that many grammar sentences in Anki, but who knows. My other daily goal is going to be reading one article (or part of it if it is very long) intensively per language per day, using the pop-up dictionary I have for Japanese, Korean, Mandarin and Cantonese. As my original goals for 2015 were centered around output, I'm going to increase my grammar focus. Again, I'll be utilizing an altered form of Glossika's speaking method by reading the sentences out loud a lot, but I'm going to continue with the Anki sentences to test my knowledge and have the benefits of spaced repetition. This time I'll also be using the beginner/intermediate textbooks, along with FSI, to help me with writing exercises. My plan is to be able to write/say anything in these books, so I'll be making a lot of writing exercises for myself to use the grammar structures and vocabulary learned from the lessons. So for Cantonese, I'll be using Teach Yourself Cantonese and FSI Cantonese. For Mandarin, I'll be using Teach Yourself Chinese and FSI Chinese. For Japanese, I'll be using Japanese For Everyone. For Korean, Continuing Korean. I believe by the time I go through these books, I should be around a solid B1 or so in output. From there, I'll be utilizing my grammar books and other sources to continue this exercise. For Korean, I'll probably breeze through it, just using it to activate some grammar structures I passively know but rarely use. Lastly, I'll start posting some recent songs in all four languages I'm learning just to spice this log up a bit. Since this forum's coding is ass, remember to remove the space in the URL.

I have way too much to study for accounting during the spring and summer. I'll be back
near the end of the year. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

You aren't the only one getting increasingly frustrated at the forum issues. The discussions about finally relocating elsewhere (to
somewhere with an active administrator) are stronger than ever after that last major glitch. See this thread in particular about the move planning: http://how-to-learn-any-language.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?T ID=40132&PN=0&TPN=9 For what it's worth, I signed up at the Polydog forum recently (which was mentioned in several of the "forum move" threads) and have been visiting there periodically as well so worst case if this site does stop working, I may just start hanging out there regularly instead. Polydog also has some members I haven't seen in years like Cainntear that were banned here. Edited by Warp3 on 12 March 2015 at 1:41am 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Pretty late, but hope all's well with you, and certainly hope you're not gone for good!
Good luck on your exams and studies, and be sure to pop in whenever you can. Yeah, the problems here on the forum are frustrating. I'm hoping a more stable solution is in the works. You should probably check out the Polydog forum that Warp3 suggested, lots of the same members. Edited by Woodsei on 06 May 2015 at 4:52pm 1 person has voted this message useful |
