JP: 毎日50語言葉を足すことはつまらないね (読んで、調べて、トラ

探して、 小説に基づいた見出し語頻度辞典を見つけた 。 もっとも頻繁の言葉のテキスト割

い。 ちょっと当てが外れるよ。 ラノベのページでわかった言葉の割合を数え て、 94%だ
った。 さ、ライトノベルんだかな:)

EN: Adding 50 words a day to Anki (the process of reading, looking words up, and adding them
to the deck) has been getting more and more tiring. I've considered using corePlus, since it has
~25,000 words sorted by frequency, but IIRC, the corpus consisted of newspapers. After a bit
of google'ing I found a ~89,000 lemma frequency list. I calculated the total number of words in
the corpus (which consisted of novels, so something a tad more interesting to me) - 18,928,215
words. Then I counted cumulative text coverage. Sadly, the corpus includes proper nouns, so
it's inaccurate, but maybe still it will be interesting to someone, what I got was:
237=10%
561=20%
1,010=30%
1,642=40%
2,574=50%
3,967=60%
6,147=70%
9,888=80%
17,822=90%
89,148=100%
I'm a bit disappointed by the inaccuracy. I just checked the percentage of known words in a
light-novel page, and it was 94%. It was a light-novel though :)

JP: 日本語-7.000語。 せっかく突破そう事だ。 勉強はスムーズに行われる。 (アン

て、 新単語を足した。 まず、 単に1ページを読んだ。 大きな上達を見なかった。 要旨だ
けぐらい。そして、 他のページで分かった言葉の割合を測った-84 .8%だ。 ラノベの頃か
ら上達ない。 逆だ。 だけど、 ちょっともう珍しい言葉あったし。 例えば: 「喫水」や
「竜骨」。 幾つか単語の意味(時々読み方も)が察せた 。 たとえば:「横板」や「商
船」。 幾つか思わず察さなかった。 例えば:「山形」や「平底」。 さ、次の千語へ!

EN: Japanese-7.000 words. Finally another milestone. Studying goes rather smoothly
now. I do about 250-280 reviews and 50 new words in ~40 minutes (just doing Anki). Today I
checked how much I understand from the Witcher. First, I read one page. Haven't seen much
improvement. I get just the gist. Then, I calculated the percentage of understood words in
another page - 84.8%. No improvement since the Light Novel. Quite the opposite. It has some
more rare vocabulary though. Like "draught" or "keel". I could guess the meaning (and
sometimes also reading) of some of the words, like "sideboard" or "merchant ship". Some
though, despite being simple, I didn't guess, like "mountain-shaped" and "flat-bottomed". So, to
the next thousand!

EDIT: 40秒間->40分間

I think you wrote 40秒間 when you meant 40分間. It happens to me all the time. :)

Ezy Riderさんはす~ごい勉強に なりましたね。私も アンキをだいたい使ってますけど、イライラ されるから 40分間使うのが絶対にできません! 一日20分間で100単語ぐらいしか しません。小説にもイライラされるから、 この頃あまり読みません。Ezy Riderさん、偉いですね!

EN: Yet another method modification. The JLPT wordlists lacked useful words. Adding words
from books was slow. Adding words from frequency lists generated from books was boring. So
now, I'm gibing Yomichan a try. I can add a new word directly to my deck with just two clicks,
while reading the book in Anki. I only need to hover the mouse over the word I lack, and choose
a definition (and writing) I want. I've read that adding sentences is also possible, but I rarely add
example sentences to my deck. Adding new vocab from reading books (in reality) was taking
~1.86 minutes per word. Yomichan requires only ~0.95 minutes per word. It's easier to persist,
because I don't have to type the word, look it up, and make the card. Plus, reading keeps me
interested.

EN:Japanese-8000 words. So, at first I hoped to be able to get through a 1000 new
words in ~20 days. But apparently it took a month. The worst thing is preparing the deck. After
further lowering the time per card limit to 4 seconds, I often can get through 320 reviews and 50
new cards in about half an hour. As for intensive reading, I've gotten through 116 pages (in
toto). The progress I've made still isn't enough.
I'd like to talk briefly about English now. As of late, I've started reading "Three men in a boat",
getting ~98% comprehension in the first chapter (I'd like to understand this much in
Japanese...). However, when watching "You rang, M'lord" and "Blackadder", my listening
comprehension could be improved. Which is odd, because when I watch "Frasier", "Three's
Company", "That Mitchell and Webb look", etc. it's just fine (even "Zero punctuation").

半月-99%(100/101)
走ること…-99%(232/234)

簡単なページに来たかも? 後でアニメ字幕の読解を調べてみたい。 この数字は高すぎそう

EN: Japanese-9000 words. So, again, it took longer than I hoped. Anyhow, unknown
words seem to become more
rare. On a typical page of Hantsuki, there are less than 3. Same for "What I talk about, when I
talk about running" (which got delivered recently). The Witcher seems to be the most difficult
(perhaps because of the genre), having about 5 (checked on just one page though).
"And now for something completely different." My favorite, statistics that is.
Text coverage (# of understood words/# of words in total)
Hantsuki-99%(100/101)
What I talk about...-(232/234)
The Witcher-97%(173/178)
Have I chosen simple pages? I'll later check Anime subtitles, the numbers seem to be too high.
Regarding English. Recently I was told to read "Heart of Darkness" for my Polish class (or
rather literature class). The moment I heard the original is in English, it was decided. I'll read it
in English. Read ten pages as of now (97.8%-5773/5857). Though I'm kind of tempted to read
Three Men in a Boat quicker. That'll be my first book in English.

I've been considering stopping to SRS. Again. At least for vocab. 2 hours of preparation is just
too much for me. I've tried to lower the target to 40 words a day, but it's still too much. I'm not
sure what to do. I've learnt English (I hope that to a good level) without any form of SRS, not
even paper flashcards. However, I'm not sure whether I could repeat these results with
Japanese. SRS allows me to remember words which occur rather rarely, which means that to
get a sufficient number of separate encounters for the same amount of vocabulary (6-20
according to some studies), I'd need a lot of input. For the last few years I've been spending so
much time with English, that I'm not sure I could recreate that amount with Japanese. And of
course seeing a word a few times won't be enough, I'll also have to guess/infer what it means.

I guess, I could just spend the time I've used to prepare the deck, to read or listen. I hope that
would be more pleasant. At the moment, I appreciate what SRS offers, yet dread it. I enjoyed
reading a book even with vocabulary half the size of my current one, so right now, it should be
even easier...

But I won't stop using SRS altogether. I've started to learn to write Kanji (had a whim to become
literate), the last two weeks. I'm not rushing it, just 10 characters a day - should be enough to
get through all Jouyou characters by the end of the year. I only learn Kanji I can't write, and
know a word they're used in. So, if I can write it without any study (being prompted with
"definitions" and readings), I just delete the note. If I see a Kanji I don't know, I suspend it. The
deck I'm using is sorted by number of strokes, I'm currently at the 6-stroke ones, and should be
able to write at least 244 (over half of which I didn't need to study). I'm also gonna use it for
Na'vi vocabulary, since there's just not enough materials for extensive reading to be... extensive.
I'm currently adding words from "Vur Raluä", a ~4500 words original short story, and I've got
prepared a translation of George R.R. Martin's "The lonely songs of Laren Dorr" - "Sìrol Larenä
Tor," another ~5500 words.

PS.: I may translate this post to Japanese later, if I feel like it.

Japanese: 2nd book. I’ve finished reading „Sky of the rising half-moon 2.” Let’s try to talk
about it, without any spoilers. So, even though I liked the first volume better, it was still quite
interesting. This time, as opposed to Ryuunosuke Akutagawa, there were more references
(and quotes) to “Night on the Galactic Railroad.” I’m looking forward to the third (thicker)
volume. But today, I’d like to focus more on “What I talk about…”. I’ve found an interesting
sentence patter while reading it: e.g., “エネルギーさえ残ってはいない.” The „は” in particular.
Also, one usefull saying: „口で言うのは簡単なんだよな” („easier said, than done”). In case
some Polish learner strayed here somehow, the Polish version is „ łatwo powiedzieć (trudniej
zrobić).”
