Audio 13:40 Vocab 7:26 Reading 0:57 Grammar 6:36 I'm managing to get more grammar covered now. I'm currently working on Minna No Nihongo II Chapter 33. I'm also finding A Japanese Reader easier to tackle than before. Some of the vocabulary is perhaps not not common beginner fare, but it all has to be learned sometime anyway. I'm managing to keep on top of memrise and Anki (vocab, grammar and kanji). I'm toying with the idea of trying Core 6000 once I manage to get my success rate on the memrise N4 course up to 80% or so. I've started to go back over the various JPOD101 beginner courses. I think I'm going to pick a season and then try to work through all of the lessons until I know all the vocabulary and grammar for each one. (Although I said that last week and then never had the time ...) Edited by dampingwire on 19 February 2013 at 12:49am 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

Time is always a concern, but it looks like you are progressing nicely!

Audio 14:11 Vocab 9:20 Reading 1:47 Grammar 6:14 Other 0:37 I've managed to get through a reasonable amount of grammar this week and I've finished Chapter 35 of Minna No Nihongo. I've re-read lesson 23 of A Japanese Reader and I've tackled 24. I've spent a decent amount of time with vocabulary. As well as the N5 and N4 courses on memrise, I've started a couple of "fun" ones: N4 extra vocabulary and body parts (which is less sinister than it sounds :-)). I've upgraded to Anki 2 and started to make use of its decks-within-decks features to allow me to target new vocabulary whilst still keeping the previously learned stuff refreshed. I've also started to work on the Anki corePLUS deck, mostly to vary the vocabulary that I know. I've started to work through some of the Lower Intermediate lessons more intensively. That means SRSing the vocabulary, working through the text and making sure that I fully understand it, repeatedly listening (using the line-by-line audio tool) and basically trying to suck each lesson dry. The first lesson took ~90m and I've spent maybe 30m on the second one (which seemed somewhat easier). I seem to have had a lot of extra time one way and another over the last few weeks, but I don't expect that to last ... I'm sure I'll be back to ~20h/week soon. So the extra vocabulary learning and the intensive JPOD lesson work are definitely "optional extras" for now. If I find the intensive lesson study helpful, I'll try to work it into my "official" goals for March.

What is CorePLUS? Does it go beyond what they have on iKnow? I assume that is the "Core" it refers to.

It's a pre-made shared Anki deck that I thought was based on Core 6000. The "notes" below come directly from the deck itself. So it looks like it's more like "Core 6000 + 20,000 other words". It looks like it should keep me going for a while :-) (I ruthlessly suspend anything that looks like I'm not going to need it for a few years though: I want extra non-JLPT-focussed vocabulary but nothing terribly outlandish).

Wow! I've got to get that! I never actually did Core 2000 because I knew most of the words, so I just made a custom deck with words I didn't know, and I'm on step 300 of the Core6000, but after that... 20 000 words total! That should set me up. I imagine I wouldn't need many more words than that.
Do you know if it works in the new version of Anki (2.0 I think)? I already upgraded, but I suppose there is a way to downgrade if necessary. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

The exact name of the Deck (as shown on the Anki Decks page) is "Japanese corePLUS". I downloaded sometime last year when I was running Anki 1.x. It was upgraded without issue as part of the upgrade recently (right now I'm running 2.0.8). I imagine you can just search for it as a shared deck and download it. Actually I've just looked using "Get Shared" from the Anki Decks page and there's one that looks to be identical: https://ankiweb.net/shared/info/194665997 So I guess that it can be directly downloaded using Anki 2. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

Audio 10:45 Vocab 8:23 Reading 1:16 Grammar 5:45 Audio is continuing as before. I've now been through all the non-beginner lessons so I'm working through various seasons again. If that gets to be too repetitive I'll try another pass through Pimsleur. I'm now up to Chapter 39 of Minna No Nihongo and lesson 25 of A Japanese Reader. having complained that I was finding it hard to get focussed on grammar I now seem to be making more headway. That's partly going to be because I'm going through a chapter a week (in detail) with my tutor so there's some incentive to stay ahead :-) I've kept up the vocabulary, both at memrise.com and in my own Anki decks. I've changed the way that I'm using the corePLUS deck: rather than letting it pick vocabulary on its own I've studied the N5 and N4 tagged vocabulary in there. Once that's settled down I'll study the N3 vocabulary, but at a slower daily rate (until I'm more confident with the N4 vocab and feel ready to re-open the flood gates). The intensive JPOD101 lesson work continues, in fact I'm going to write it into my March TAC2013 goals. 1 person has voted this message useful |
