Probably I don't have the newest words/kanji in my long term memory yet but it's just a matter of time. I don't have any method, actually. I'm just putting new kanji into Anki and new vocab into vocabulary deck. You just have to find few hours a day to train and leave the rest to Anki - it will calculate when it's the right moment to revise old cards and learn new. Well, it's good when you don't have to have everything learned till the next day and have like 2 more weeks to polish it up.
Moreover, I noticed that the more I study, the better my memory is. I can remember what I saw, what I heard, what I read much better than at the beginning of my study. That also speeds up the process. I can use those words but have to admit that there are some exceptions. I learnt those exceptions too because I believe that I will come across those words eventually during my process of learning and somehow will figure out the meaning and usage. If not, then it means that the word is useless and is not worth learning anyway :P Edited by Mistral on 13 November 2009 at 7:02pm 2 persons have voted this message useful | |||

This week is pretty though. I have few exams every day and preparing for them and finding some time for Japanese is a hard thing to do. Anyway, I was able to study some grammar, however, I had to sacrifice my sleep time so now I look like a zombie.
Progress: Dictionary of Intermediate Japanese Grammar (DIJG) - 175/834 EDIT// Okay, I have a question. I have a Japanese friend who is much older than me. She keeps calling me Anna-san and using that teinei form and it feels a little weird. Can i tell her that calling me chan or whatever is okay? Won't it be impolite or something? God, book about Japanese savoir-vivre would be something Edited by Mistral on 18 November 2009 at 5:10pm 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

you can say that you would feel more comfortable if she calls you that...I highly doubt she will be offended since i make cultural mistakes all the time in Korea with politeness stuff and no one gets offended, and its a bit more looser in Japan so I'm sure your idea will be fine =]

Well, perhaps she thinks you might not understand non-teinei forms. (Western students often only know teinei during the beginner stage.) If she knows you can use casual forms and still speaks to you with teinei only, she might simply not feel "chummy" enough with you yet. This sort of thing can depend on personality too. There's a character in a series of books I'm reading who will only use teinei, even with her closest friends.

Thanks a lot for your answers! Now she calls me Anna-chan but still she use teinei form haha. I guess it can't be helped.
Progress: Dictionary of Intermediate Japanese Grammar (DIJG) - 275/834 。゜゜(´□｀。)°゜。 I did some JLPT kanji part and maxed it but I'm worried that it won't be that easy on the exam. What made me anxious was that they were asking about kanji which are definitely level 1 (like 壁). Luckily I knew other 3 so could eliminate them but I wonder if I will be that lucky with the exam. Listening part is pretty easy too. Well, at least they don't use those stiff forms. Recently. I've been listening to one Japanese podcast: http://heavenlyblue.radilog.net/ They are great ;) 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

It's before 7AM and I've just finished my DIJG. Now practice, practice, practice.
Did I tell you already that I've started learning Esperanto? But I'm going to take this more seriously after my exam so in a week. At the moment I can say only "Saluton" :D 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Czy mi się wydawało czy już wcześniej uczyłaś się esperanto?
Daj znać dokładnie kiedy masz egzamin, będę trzymała kciuki. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||
