	It took me some time to get back to learning Japanese because of humongous amount of exams which I had to take. Now it's better and I have only 6 left so it's the time to come back to what I like doing the most! Current goal: Learn 10 Kanji per fortnight (it's nothing big but I don't need more at the moment) Revise books: * "Język japoński dla średniozaawansowanych" Ewa Krassowska-Mackiewicz 0/30 * "Praktyczny kurs gramatyki języka japońskiego. Wybór ćwiczeń" praca zbiorowa 0/133 Learn 2000 sentences from Japanese Core Learn as much vocab as possible ( I will specify it probably later) Current state: 150 kanji approx. 1100 words * "Język japoński dla średniozaawansowanych" Ewa Krassowska-Mackiewicz 0/30 * "Praktyczny kurs gramatyki języka japońskiego. Wybór ćwiczeń" praca zbiorowa 0/133 *0/2000 sentences from JC Edited by Mistral on 20 October 2008 at 12:04pm 1 person has voted this message useful

	If you don't mind me asking, how do you learn 10 kanji a day? Are there any methods that you use to make it easier? Do you have a good visual memory? 1 person has voted this message useful

	Maya, I don't use any specific method. However, I heard that Heisig method ("Remembering the kanji") is great. I was learning 10 kanji a day when I had 6 hours of free time and even 10 hours at weekends. Now it has changed drastically and I hardly manage to have 1 hour. Also you can notice that i'm only at the beginning of learning kanji (150 is not too much) and till now they don't look that similar and don't have too many strokes. That makes memorizing a lot easier. If you are looking for some visual association for kanji, you should try Cheko Kano - Basic Kanji Book. It has a lot of pictures in every lesson which may help you in memorizing characters. I hope that it will help you. 1 person has voted this message useful

	Thanks - I'll look into some visual association type materials for kanji. I'm not at all a visual person, so I think that would help considerably. Thanks again! 1 person has voted this message useful

	Ok, so I will specify my goal: Revise books: "Język japoński dla średniozaawansowanych" Ewa Krassowska-Mackiewicz 0/30 * "Praktyczny kurs gramatyki języka japońskiego. Wybór ćwiczeń" praca zbiorowa 0/133 Learn 500 new words (1600 in total) Learn 150 new kanji (300 in total) Learn all grammar from http://www.guidetojapanese.org/ Estimated time: 25 days (till 15th November) Daily: 6 kanji per day 20 words per day Revise whole grammar (20 lessons per day till 29th of October) *Learn all extra grammar from http://www.guidetojapanese.org/ (still don't know how much grammar i will be able to learn from that site a day)(after 29th of October) Pretty much I want to attend to classes where we will prepare for JLPT lvl 3. I just want to check my skills If I could eventually pass it. I'm not taking the exam this year, though. 1 person has voted this message useful
