If you use ANKI, get the "audio download" plugin for that. It downloads the exact sound samples you listen to with Rikaisama, from Jim Breen's WWWJDIC site, produced by JapanesePOD101.

Yeah I could try some books - I wanna do Harry Potter heh. It's above my lvl but I'm familiar with the story.
Anything not graded would be above my level but I could still try it. What's the sub to SRS? Are there sites with the Japanese subs that I could get to make the flashcards with? Or would I just record clips from the animes and then type in the English subs leaving the Japanese side audio only? Rosetta stone gets a bad rap in a lot of forums I know. I like it. It's not an all inclusive course that it advertises itself to be but still good. And it's paid for already lol. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

I don't use anki (I have it I just don't use it). I use an app for iOS called Flashcards Deluxe. If the iOS version of anki is improved to support downloading decks from the database directly, gets text to speech, sound support at all, and 3+ sided card support I'll give it another look.

Here is the Reviewing the Kanji
forum discussion on subs2SRS. Here is where you download it. Here and addicts.com/forum/">here is where you download subs of your favorite anime and tv dramas. I'm guessing you love anime as much as I do, so the first one would probably be more relevant to you. There are other anime subtitle sites I have bookmarked, so I'll post them soon. Enjoy, and best of luck with your summer studies! Edited by Woodsei on 02 May 2012 at 12:53pm 2 persons have voted this message useful | |||

Weekends - I love the weekends. Well I have my Japanese final coming up. So I'll do some studying for that (although not a lot I feel like I know the material and I don't think he's going to throw lots of new vocabulary at us that we haven't covered in class).
The subs2SRS has me very interested. And I just downloaded a 3054 deck of vocab for the N3 test. It includes all vocab for N5/N4 too (I'm not sure what I'm missing in those so being thorough.) Doing N3 this December would be very ambitious for me so that makes it a good goal right. So I'm gonna hit that deck up. I got the list off of www.tanos.co.uk/jlpt/jlpt3/vocab/combined/ It looks like a very solid website. I like that it includes the kanji, kana, and English all in separate columns so I can cut and past it into a 3 sided deck. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

This morning I went through 200 new words in my N3 deck. Sometimes doing these flashcards feels like an
exercise in futility but this wasn't bad at all. I am hoping that's because it's a pattern and my brain is accepting Japanese. I don't know if this is good or bad but most every word I encounter is new lol. It obviously means that I have a ways to go to achieve proficient N3 but if I knew most of the words I was studying already then I'd feel like my goal wasn't challenging enough. The deck does include the N5 and N4 lists so those might be the only words I'm Ctually recognizing. I think I haven't done one of those placement test things but my own rough assessment is that I could take and pass N5 now and maybe cram for a week or 2 and pass N4. I don't already know all the N4 vocab but I can recognize all the kanji easily anyway and I think the grammar I've done for my last course would bring me up to N4ish. I got a new case for my iPad 3 (or whatever apple wants to call it). It was super cheap from monoprice.com like 10 dollars or so I forget. What I love about it is that it has the position where you can type easily (like 30 angle or something) and does the traditional upright angles very well for watching movies or just letting other people watch stuff with you. I've had the iPad 2 for about a year and I wish I had a case that did this angle before its so convenient for typing I'm not even using my Bluetooth apple keyboard (which still is nice.) Since I have 2 iPads I loaned one (the 'crappy old' iPad 2) to a friend in class. Been wanting someone else to have an iPad to talk about apps and such with and also to play kanji multiplayer on Kanjibox =). Well we tried out Kanjibox. She wouldn't do anything but N5 kanji with me since she says the N4 is too hard heh. N5 is super easy as you can probably guess. It was fun though. What it does is show you 4 kanji and below it shows the English meaning and pronunciation of the correct response and you have to select your answer faster than your partner to get more points. If you get it just a little slower than your opponent you will still get points for your answer. I dunno the formula. She won the first couple matches then I won the last few ones. Then she stopped playing - I think she was getting text messages from some friends and obviously had no chance of beating me if she stopped to read those messages let alone reply. So the results were inconclusive. I don't know if I can beat her at N5 kanji deathmatch or not heh. We had e 'world famous' end of the semester Sugawara kanji game in class yesterday and she cleaned up on that compared to me. It was only kanji taught in 101 and 102 so like 80 kanji or something I don't know. Well I didn't do so well on that =/. I was too slow finding the kanji even though I knew what to look for. Onaositie note I didn't give any false responses whereas the other students all made at least a couple errors. I think the punishment for wrong responses was too lenient but even if it were strict it wouldn't have made a big difference. So I find it a bit ironic that I didn't do so well at that but in Kanjibox I my friend wouldn't let me increase the difficulty to something more fun like N3 or N2. But she's said she'll do RTK this summer break so I'm hoping she'll want to later. N5 is still fun but it's more about reflexes than knowing kanji and not as good. I'm trying to think of other Japanese language games we could do. I'm interested in games more than exercises - most group exercises in text books are so awful it makes you regret taking the course. Rosetta stone has a fun memory type game which I want to try to duplicate. Just put English on one card, and the Japanese on another card and mix up a lot of pairs and then put them down and play like the old game memory from when you were a kid. If there's any other fun the group games I'd love to try them. The world famous kanji game we did was a bunch of vocab written down on flash cards and splayed randomly over 2 tables pushed together. The teacher called out a word in Japanese and you picked it and then said the English. If you got a wrong card he said punished but you could still keep going and didn't have any points deducted. It was fun. I think he should have made a wrong response sit out until the next word (at least). Some people would pickup one card after another until getting the right response (although that didn't happen often.) 1 person has voted this message useful |
