Retention rate, the amount of cards you got remembered correctly. It's part of the Anki statistics you can look at after you're done with all your reviews. I think I started with this deck: https://ankiweb.net/shared/info/1102215805 but I'm not 100% sure as I've renamed the deck soon after. 2 persons have voted this message useful | |||

Japanese:
Caught up with Log Horizon in Japanese, it's pretty much the first anime I started watching with Japanese subtitles before having seen it with English subtitles. I can understood most of it to follow the plot, but I do miss quite some details. I also watched some scenes again later on with English subtitles as they were quite important to the story. I'm definitely going to use this for my subs2srs deck with the harder scenes. The more I watch, the more I start to pick up by listening alone, which is great. I should've dropped English subs much earlier but I've been afraid to do so earlier on. Today I started studying the Kanzen Master N3 grammar sentences with anki, the deck now has the following layout: http://cl.ly/image/2e1M0e0r1J1D I plan to add one book to anki every 2 months, which should give me another 5 months or so for me to internalize all the grammar points by December for the JLPT. Lithuanian: Just reviews. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Japanese:
Been keeping up with my reps, translated 18 pages, and didn't miss a single day in adding my grammar cards since I started this week. Also watched the latest episode of Hunter x Hunter with Japanese subs, but in the middle they got out of sync that I just stuck with listening. I've also started a deck with sentences I find in native material. At this pace I can finish the Shin Kanzen Master Grammar N3 book in a little over a month, which would make it 5 weeks total for one book. If the N2 and N1 books go as fast, I'll be ahead in my schedule for grammar! Lithuanian: I've read a bit more in colloquial, the present tense is quite complicated (more like completely different than in any language I know). Going to read about asking questions next.

Finals are finally over, time to focus on language learning again!
Japanese: Translated a few manga chapters. I kept up my anki reps up until the 20th or so, I had to start focussing on my finals at this point and was exhausted by the time I finished for the day. Catching up right now, should be done with that in about an hour of reviewing. I won't be able to recover the time I lost in the tadoku challenge, but I'll be trying my best to read as much as I can with the time that's left over. I started reading the Kino no Tabi and OreImo light novels, which is going really well so far! I've read about 10 pages in Kino no Tabi and 51 in OreImo in just a few days, which is really motivating me to keep studying. I hope to finish OreImo volume 1 in the next few days. I had to stop adding new cards to my grammar deck, but I did keep up with reviewing the older ones. I'm gonna type up a few pages in advance so I can still learn new grammar patterns even if I don't feel like putting them into anki that day. Lithuanian: I finished the first chapter of complete lithuanian, and also pimsleur unit 2. I'll have to review it since I haven't done anything else except keeping up my few anki reviews for this language. Also gonna get ready for the 6 week challenge. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Oh wow it's been a while since I last updated.
Japanese: I've been using Japanese a lot to read manga, probably read around 1200 pages of shounen manga since I last posted. Haven't really continued with the light novels, I know I should but I keep getting distracted. I find it very hard to do something consistently everyday without missing one. Same goes for anki (adding cards or just reviewing even), It goes well for one week, and then I miss one, two or three days and it's a complete mess again. It's like I do the majority of my studies in a few intensive sessions, and then let it linger around for a while. I haven't looked at the consistency challenge for like a week either... After this post I'm going to catch up with my reviews and add a bunch of cards, it's been a few days again. I've ordered up until volume 8 of Kino no Tabi, hoping I'll get through them in a decent amount of time. Lithuanian: I've learned how motivation plays a big role in learning a language, I haven't really made any progress in it. I need to find a different way than textbooks to use it, as those are full of grammar explanations that don't really help me. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Have you looked at the Lithuanian course for beginners at Oneness City?
When I was studying Lithuanian in preparation for my trip to Lithuania a while ago, I was disappointed by Teach Yourself Lithuanian (renamed "Complete Lithuanian") because the authors chose not only to throw a lot of grammar in every chapter, but also draw up long lists of vocabulary whose items aren't all found in the dialogues or text anyway, and the unnaturally slow speech of the voice actors on the CDs until the final chapter who then speak at normal speed. 2 persons have voted this message useful | |||

Lithuanian:
I had taken a look at it before, but not so in depth because I tend to avoid sites with a layout like that. I took a look once again and found it actually has quite a lot of content. I've been learning some of the sentences from lesson 1. I'm still not sure how to go about learning the grammar, as I'm not such a huge fan of doing a lot of it early on. My friend sent me a copy of the hobbit audiobook + pdf which I'm going to use for listening-reading, my main goal with this is getting used to the sound of the language. I also read in Colloquial Lithuanian for like 10 minutes today. Japanese: Caught up with anki and added some grammar cards. I found a spreadsheet with the sentences for Shin Kanzen Master N2 so that should save me some time. I'm actually thinking of adding these to my deck already. To study new material on days that I can't type over sentences of the N3 book. Over the past few days I've started using LingQ as I never really got to test it out properly. I've got to say that I'm really impressed with it. I'm gonna use it for the next month and see where it will take me. With LingQ I'm also spending 10 mins a day trying to revive my (nonexistent) French that I was taught in high school. Not that I really want to speak it, I just want to see what the site could do for me compared to the boring classes that I was forced to take. 1 person has voted this message useful |
