Yes, I lost some of my motivation too the past few weeks for various reasons, but I'm
glad I'm picking back up again. And it is fun getting out new words you came across and putting them in Anki. I know, getting through kanji is tough. But I remember you were somewhere at the 1200-1400 mark, right? That's almost there, fortheo, and soon enough you can actually settle down to full-time reading, listening, and speaking. I was going to suggest you just read and Heisig the unknown kanji you come across, but I have a feeling it's too much of a bother stopping constantly, and will kill the enjoyment out of you reading. Or you could highlight the unknown kanji as you go, then do them all after you read. But my guess is it'll be faster just doing them in the Heisig order. You're almost there! がんばってね！ 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

I came to the same conclusion myself and stopped studying all Japanese to focus on Kanji exclusively using the Heisig RTK. It worked pretty well for me - I really enjoy the kanji now. I still have a lot of work to do on kanji particularly since my class started up and I had to put RTK on hold more or less. I would recommend really making kanji your focus if you're that concerned about it holding you back. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Thanks for the pep talk guys, means a lot to me :)
My cousin and i are going to do a challenge to see who can do more RTK this week. I have work and school too, but i am going to aim to do a steady amount a day to at least make it a habit. I just want to get into actual Japanese reading already lol. So impatient and frustrated with heisig lol, but I have plenty of time, and am in no rush. I will make it through. I love the spoken language though, and am making good progress on the core 2000 deck of vocabulary :) Edited by fortheo on 23 April 2012 at 1:04am 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

I haven't really learned much this past month :( I have been down sick for about three weeks now with what seemed like a never ending case of bronchitis and an ear infection.I managed to do all my reviews and listen to some japanese here and there, but thats about it :/
Idk, no point letting all this getting me down, I realize this is a long term goal and I am in no rush. So back on track now with finishing RTK ( it will happen, lol ) 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

I am about a quarter of a way into core 2000 most common words, I really enjoy it so I will continue with that.I am starting to feel more comfortable with kanji! I didn't do all of Heisig, but I have been importing kanji from other sources into SRS and it's going well :) I am about quarter of a way into core 2000 most common words, I really enjoy it so I will continue with that. I have been neglecting my speaking in favor for reading these past two months, so I am going to try to contact an old friend and japan to get some speaking exercises done.

Hope you get better soon! Bronchitis+ear infection sounds like no fun :S I realize that
whichever way you go, Heisig or not, you'll eventually learn the kanji, so if you skip out on his book, I don't think it's necessarily a bad thing. There were some kanji that I haven't studies through Heisig earlier in my studies, but when I saw them in a meaningful context multiple times they stuck. I think that, ultimately, it's all about exposure, and taking the language as a whole. Reading, writing, etc. Heisig made things a lot easier and faster for me, though, and that's why I forced myself to stick with it, and I'm glad I did. But, you know, different strokes for different folks :) So do what makes it enjoyable for you :) 500 words and their sentences down is awesome! I love the fact that the core decks have audio with them :) Good luck, team mate! And hope you bounce back on the wagon after that flu spell. Season changes are always heavy on bad infections, unfortunately. おだいじに！ 1 person has voted this message useful |
