Yeah, I will post here. In terms of making the flash cards it's a bit more time consuming this way but I think it
should be about the same when I review. We"ll see. Obviiously I'm hopeful this will help me learn faster heh. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

The sentence deck is neat. Depending on the sentence it can be kind of hard - if a sentence is long and
includes a lot of new words it's a bit of a pain to learn to read. It doesn't seem like this will speed up vocabulary aquisition but it's helping me with grammar and just better exposure to the language. Since I'm not reading Japanse regularly and often will just do flashcards and watch an anime the sentence deck is really good. I'm thinking I'm going to just add slowly to the sentence deck though - it's slower than straight up vocab decks. I'm not going to stop doing plain old vocab decks altogether. Not sure how to balance it yet. Also I still haven't finished off Heisig. I have like 100 more to go. It's not too often I see a kanji in that 100 but it's really getting annoying when I see one and it's Heisig and I don't have a story for it... ugh. 2 persons have voted this message useful | |||

Yeah, probably a good balance is the best way. I think my vocabulary is solid at the intermediate level, but my vocabulary is way behind, so it's a vocab deck for me, with sentences for any grammar points.

Well, I just came across this vocabulary word and it has me taken aback a bit... Kanji can sort of show a
culture's prejudice I guess. 痴漢 So apparently a molester means a stupid Chinese person if you're Japanese. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

I'm not going to be doing sentences as the primary method of learning new vocab. I'm gonna have it as a
secondary one. The reason being that it's a bit harder and takes more discipline and mental energy to sit down and do as well as making the cards. Learning vocab really should be done every day if at all possible I think and if that means doing words in isolation then much better than a couple times a week. Right now I'm adding words from the anime I'm watching. Well trying to. If I can hear a word well enough to spell it then that's great but sometimes I am just looking at the dub and typing in the English and then trying to pick it out from the results. I'm adding other words that look useful too when I do that. I think it's adding up fast. Edited by kraemder on 26 July 2012 at 7:02pm 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

It's more than a little frustrating how few sound combinations Japanese has and how despite this they have so much vocabulary. For example.. かし (kashi) means...
loan; lending song lyrics; words of a song; libretto pastry; confectionery the legs; lower extremities asphyxiation; apparent death visibility evergreen oak flaw; defect; blemish; noncommissioned officer grant; bestowal; false tooth (flower's) filament degrees Fahrenheit Damn that's a lot for just two syllables. And they're all like that. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Finished off RTK 1 tonight. I've had 100 to go for ages. And I've been neglecting my reviews doing other stuff instead. I am gonna get on top of that I think. I don't think it's too bad since it's really easy to re-learn kanji when I see it in an actual word but any of those 100 that I hadn't studied yet were a real pain. Should be a lot easier now. I'm wondering if I'll do RTK 3 now. I'm pretty sure it will include some more primitives and that would be very helpful. Kanji that aren't in book 1 but use primitives I already know are pretty easy.
