Hi great log!
I have a question for you, sorry if this has been asked before, but I haven't had the time to make it through all the posts on this log yet.
Did you find that while studying these two languages, you had a problem with meshing them together? I have heard that the grammar is very similar, and that a little bit of the vocab is similar. So I'm just wondering if studying these two languages at the same time has caused some complications.
keep up the good work!

Only time I mix them up is when I'm trying to find a word for Japanese in my head, but a Korean word comes up instead. The similarities help a lot more than they hurt.

Gonna restart Anki. April will be a bit slow, as I have some projects and stuff to work on, and after finals, I'll have some free time. I'll have a lot if I can't find a job. >>

I was wondering whether the SRS abandonment would hold or not. In some ways I hoped it did, but there is a lot to be said for induced repetition.

When I stopped I was doing well with vocab, but I fell back to my old trap of never reviewing. And March, I was busy doing other things, but there were some Kpop songs that kept me doing something with Korean. I have two short papers due in the middle of April, so I'll probably just learn words.
And yes, this time for Anki, just words. No sentences. Korean > English.

That's pretty much what I've reverted to now (words or very short phrases, K-to-E only). The only time I *don't* use single words is when a word has commonly used homonyms, multiple distinct meanings, or the meaning of the word is heavily dependent on context. In that case I'll pair the word with something else to make a short 2-3 word phrase instead. Anything longer and the cards are either too intimidating (especially for longer sentences with multiple new words) or it is too easy to gloss over the important word due to all the extra context.
A few times recently I've already gone to add a word and found I already had a really old example sentence with it (or multiple cards with that word), but obviously still didn't actually recognize the word (or I wouldn't be trying to add it). In those cases, I've started creating new cards with that word, adding the example sentences as source examples (my cards have a 출처 field for the source), then deleting the old cards. In fact, I just did this with 의외로 a few days ago. I had two cards that used the word, both of which were easily passed each time, but still couldn't recognize the word when I saw it (as I had been glossing over it during reviews). After a few passes of the new card, I actually recognize that word in other contexts now.
