Day Twenty-three

Didn't do much today - too tired and busy all morning.

Read a small amount on Japanese grammar.
Looked over some Japanese sentences in a multilingual phrasebook - quite reasonable for a phrasebook (it includes vocab and notes on grammar) but not really a resource to learn from.

Day Twenty-four

More productive today - more new Kanji.

Studied 83 Kanji and learnt 24 new ones.
Did one page of kanji writing practice - with fude this time.
Listened to four of the stories from Sōseki's Ten Nights of Dreams (Yume Jūya) had these on in the background.

Day Twenty-five

Got through all 417 scheduled repetitions of my flash cards today, but I still have 192 not memorized to get through.
Read some of A Guide to Remembering Japanese Characters - perhaps about half of the second grade characters.
Read a bit of Esperanto stuff - mostly Wikipedia.
Did one page of kanji practice.
Did some study for my Russian oral test - questions and answers in Russian.

Had hoped to do a Pimsleur lesson, but didn't get round to it.

I've been a bit slack with everything lately, especially the Pimsleur lessons and my flash cards. I've got exams coming up soon, so I don't want to work too hard, but I'll try to put in some more effort after they're over. Of course, two of my exams are for Russian and Japanese, so I'll be studying for those.

Day Twenty-six

Flash cards: 41 repetitions (rather low, but that's all there were) + 73 more
I've sorted out my deck a bit more, too - more sentences (Mostly for Esperanto).
Kanji writing practice - half a page
Wrote some short dialogs in Russian - about a page long.

Had a one hour Japanese lecture
Had a two hour Russian class

Had hoped to practice some katakana and do some Russian grammar study, but got a bit sidetracked. I read some useful stuff about writing kanji, however, and found some Japanese sentences that should be useful for later on (links to come).

To do tomorrow:

Get through all my flash cards (as usual)
One page of katakana writing practice
Study more Russian sentences / questions and answers
Do some listening practice

I hope to do some more on top of this, too.

Day Twenty-nine

Apologies for the late updates.

I had my Russian test today; I'm pleased with how it went.

Spent a few hours studying for the test - more shadowing, reading aloud and questions and answers.
Did some short Japanese translations (E>J).
Other than that, I can't remember exactly what study I did.

Had a one hour Japanese class
