What's on the front and the back side of the cards? Is it kanji -> English word? Edited by Takato on 07 January 2013 at 8:17pm 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

Actually, Sánchez está en su oficina. But apparently this guy either doesn’t believe it or he’s hard of hearing because the recording goes something like this: ¿Dónde está Sánchez? En su oficina. ¿Dónde está Sánchez? En.su oficina. ¿Dónde está Sánchez? ¡En su oficina! ¿Dónde está Sánchez? ¡EN SU OFICINA! ¿Dónde está Sánchez? ¡EN SU OFICINA! Well, not exactly like that. There’s no yelling, but it is repeated over and over. This part of the course focuses mainly on pronunciation, so you only learn a few sentences per lesson, but you learn to pronounce them very well.

I just use the kanji koohii website rather than making my own cards. It gives the keyword on the front and you have to produce the kanji, which is how Heisig suggests to do it. I find it works pretty well, but since I've not been doing it for a while, I'm forgetting how to write them. I don't have much trouble recognizing them, but when I try to write by hand, I can't remember them. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

O.O The JLPT doesn't need writing but you still do it. Amazing! Have you ever considered writing full sentences by hand? (Like your Lang-8 entries.) Maybe if you did that, you wouldn't have to stop the reviews once in a while. What do you say? Edited by Takato on 07 January 2013 at 9:30pm 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

I had a few words I confused a bit when I was learning Norwegian. I could never remember the difference between gevir (antlers) and gevær (rifle). So, it seems like there were some rather heavily armed elk wandering around the forest in those days. It makes hunting much more sporting though :) (And I know you didn't need the words translated, but I figured other people might want to have a laugh at my expense too.) Another time, we were flipping through the channels on TV and happened to stop for a while on a movie from the 50's. It was an American movie and there were Norwegian subtitles, so I was reading them while listening to the English. At one point they said something about the woman, who was divorced, getting alimony. In the subtitle, it was translated as "underholdningsbidrag," but at that time, the only meaning of "underholdning" I knew was "entertainment." So I sat thinking about this "entertainment-money" that her ex-husband was paying her and I thought, Norwegian men must be very nice since they give money to their ex-wives so they can go to parties and such. Then I thought, or perhaps they are very clever because if they give their ex-wives money to go to parties, the ex-wives can then find new husbands. Then the ex-husband won't have to pay any underholdningsbidrag anymore. I know it's pure nonsense, but it seemed almost reasonable at the time. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

Actually, I do write out my lang-8 entries by hand first for that very reason. Unfortunately, I hadn't written any of them for a long time either. But for now I think I need to do both anyway because my writing (composition) skills are so weak that I tend to use a lot of the same words each time and then I don't get much practice on the other kanji. Also, as far as kanji practice goes, I get to practice a lot more kanji in a half hour of reviews than I do in writing the one tiny paragraph I can produce in the same amount of time. Eventually though, I should be good enough at writing that I can write longer compositions and do it fairly easily. Then I won't need to actively review kanji. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

I didn't know the English word for gevir. And the story made me lose it haha. :p
Also, you could just use the Koohii Importer plugin to move them over to anki. :) 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

I don't know if we're allowed to discuss this here, but it is reasonable. Sounds like the kind of thing I would do if I were forced to pay an alimony ;) Edited by mrwarper on 08 January 2013 at 2:46am 1 person has voted this message useful |
