Hi Everyone. I’ve been sick. In fact, I still feel sick, I can’t shake it! Dammit! But, today I’m feeling a lot better - mainly because this week the new Japanese drama season has begun! I’ve spent most of tonight watching lots of promotional stuff of Maou, Ikuta Toma and Ohno Satoshi’s new drama that [...]

May 2008 has been Major Burn Out Month. I discovered my problem, however - it wasn’t burnout from Japanese, rather it was a burnout from University. I will definitely be making a post on the pros and cons of learning a language in the class room. That being said, I tried to maintain my Japanese [...]

One goal for many learning Japanese is to be able to enjoy manga in it's original language. It is one of my goals as well. I have quite a few manga in Japanese, collected from many places, such as YesAsia.com, I have mostly used these as motivation tools - "look at these manga, I will read them!!"

In my post Divide and Conquer - a Vocab Post, Atreya asked the question: I am quite confused about the method by which I should structure my Anki Deck. By method I mean, how does one create the cards in Anki? Now, the short answer is, of course: Any way you want. But that [...]

I’ve started a new anki file. I let the one go too long that the spaced repetition was messed up, and it had such a huge workload as so many cards had expired - I would have never gotten to new cards. Plus, a fresh start is refreshing! So I’ve started again. I picked out a [...]

It’s been a while since I’ve show how my vocab progress is going, so here it is! I have to say that I haven’t done much here in the last two months. I really need a couple of hours to sit down and update my vocab list, add new cards. I’ve started adding much more Kanji [...]

There are many ways to learn vocabulary. One method I use is Flash Cards. Electronic flash cards. I like the Leitner System which puts cards into different boxes. When a box is full, you review the cards in the box, moving the ones you know to the next box and the ones you don’t know [...]
