The Study Streak Challenge! 💮

[FlamySerpent]

@FlamySerpent 700 days studied, awesome! 400 reviews a day is quite a lot haha, I hope you’re only learning vocab at the moment

400 can be a bit daunting sometimes, yeah xD Now I tend to have more like 300 and something, that way I feel great. Doing 200 reviews in the morning and then 200 more in the evening is tiring a bit And yeah, I’ve finished the grammar studies so I’m freeeee I just need the JLPT to be held here sometime in the future so that I can hopefully get N1 and actually be free xD

Your numbers are intimidating haha. How many Japanese cards you add every day? How many decks do you use?

After seeing @s1212z numbers I can disagree I’m not really studying Japanese cards atm, even though I have 200+ words added to the front of the queue on 10k xD I need to get back to them, but even then I don’t do more than 6 lessons a day (3 word cards and 3 sentences for the same ones).

I kinda use just 10k, my Exposure deck for Japanese and my Portuguese deck where I add the words myself, but I do have a finished Katakana deck, 2 Idioms decks a Keigo deck, States and Prefectures decks and a Latin one xD

And I think I remember you from a post I did long ago asking about other languages besides Japanese. My native language is Portuguese and it’s always nice to see someone trying to learn it–be the Brazilian or the European version. Well, if you speak one, you can understand the other without issues. Boa sorte~~

Muito obrigada~
Yeah, my focus right now is Portuguese and after taking it more seriously in the past couple of months I can finally say that I have ~B1 and am comfortable with reading a lot of stuff I just actually need to read more now xD

Which deck is this? I’m looking for more sentence mining decks

I’d post mine, but I don’t know if I can or not. But Hinekidori posted the apkg (with their permission) a while ago. The 10k sentence template in the CC fits like a glove! Auto generated audio too, but I don’t use it. These sentence were before an overhaul they did a few years ago, dare I say they are even a bit edgier than current content.

Amazing!

I forgot to post but did all days in Nov, average daily lesson count ~21 items per day so more than last month. Getting close to 666 days studied

Wow nice! So many lessons too, how are you managing I can only make myself do like 10 a day, sometimes only 5 or none, or else it becomes like 400+ reviews in a day xD

I forgot to take a screenshot on the last day, but I hit 2 years on that day

I still have to catch up with 10k, but tbh I’m more interested in keeping my review count around 300

I’m drowning at the moment, lol…especially when work gets busy

I have 3 daily decks that I can clear daily and add lessons to. The rest are end of life decks 90-100% I work on 1-2 a week for higher SRS. So having a lot of smaller decks lets me micromanage however I want…but the SRS numbers look terrible. If this was all a single large deck, like the 10k, it would be a world of pain. Plus difficultly varies depending on content of the deck.

Approaching 11k Masters I see, amazing!

Daily lesson ave. ~17.5

皆さん,明けましておめでとうございます

Good luck with your 2022 study goals

[steph-dm]

I totally forgot about taking a screen for November as well

I’m happy that I still have my full streak on my SRS’, even if I don’t start new lessons everyday.
That was a really nice but busy year.

Now it’s time to move on, 2022 is about to start, and that will be my 2nd year learning japanese.

I hope everyone have a good 2022, (hopefully better than 2020-21 for an obvious reason ) and New Year’s eve

Awesome numbers!

Nice work as well, full month!

Haven’t hit New Year quite yet in Europe or Americas, I probably should be saying 良いお年をお迎えください

[s1212z]

~18.8/items added per day, so I guess I’m still on pace like last month around same average. Mostly are vocab mixed w/ kanji and sentences plus misc.

How is everyone else doing?

Gosh, still your numbers scare me

@s1212z

How is everyone else doing?

I did well in January, I read my first (more real) book in Japanese, かがみの孤城, so I had a lot of words to add xD I still have 128 after adding them all

I’ve been doing 10 daily lessons on exposure deck (the majority of the words aren’t even on 10k), but recently I switched to 15 because I want to at least get to less than 100 faster xD I prefer to have reviews under 400, or else it becomes a bit overwhelming for me

I also started writing essays in Japanese for my teacher on Asao /o/ That’s been really fun and I felt a lot of progress after just a couple of them, even though I still don’t have the confidence xD

[FlamySerpent]

Happy June! How’s everyone been doing lately? I recently hit 900 days studied and 12000 Master

My exposure deck has almost 1000 cards due to additional studying for Kanken (just for fun, and I’m only at ９級 now xD) and playing Okami in Japanese And I also finally found the Magic Master for Ni no Kuni in Japanese on the archive website so maybe I’ll play it to completion this time? On my last save file I spent 19 hours where it would usually take about 6 Now I’m moving at a much faster pace and I’m very happy about it /o/ Not so fast with Okami though, roughly twice as slow, but I still enjoy it :3

I also watched 中田敦彦’s videos about 古事記 on youtube and I highly recommend it! It’s a short and fun series about Japan’s mythology and it has English subs for 3 videos out of 4, the last one having Japanese ones, so if anything they can be translated too

[s1212z]

431 days in a row as of today and now past 800 days using Kitsun

Let’s see on milestones…I’m 690 on the kanji writing deck, my goals would be to finish N2 kanji by end of summer. I wish I had done this sooner, it’s been a helpful exercise thus far. Also just 17% on the WK sentence deck, been going a bit slower but still find it beneficial to break collocation dependency. Also grinding the Grammar deck on all the layouts, finally feel like I’m making some grammar progress and improve listening. For vocab, I finished the N2 Tango and mostly been working my own exposure deck plus the slang deck which has been fun…sort of want to improve the above before getting too deep on another vocab pile ATM.

500 day streak and crossed the 900 line total, wee

Almost 1100 items added since 90 days ago (~12/day)

[FlamySerpent]

1000 Days Studied, 13k mastered, finally done with 10k lessons backlog and a perfect month

It’s really weird not having any lessons queued up, I have to read more asap I guess xD Rolling d20 for daily lessons has been immensely fun, totally recommend

Hey yall, I’m back! It’s been a bumpy couple months and it will continue to be, but I’m still going fairly steady with my Japanese!

For the most part, I’ve been busy preparing to go to Shinjuku for a year of Study Abroad, and almost everything has been by-the-bell because of random delays. But I know in a few days my Visa and my plane ticket will finally be in my hands, and I’ll be on my way! Though who knows, from my estimates my Visa will be arriving a day before I’m scheduled to leave, so I really mean it when I say this is a very by-the-bell experience.

On a sidenote, I decided a few months ago to bump a bunch of cards back to 0. The gist of it is that my many classes caused a much larger backlog than I wanted, and many of the words didn’t really feel immediately important to me, so I decided I would rather just reset those words while focusing on keeping up a health pace.

[TheSuicidalMuffin]

I’m also back! Putting most of my effort into Chinese which has been easy thanks to Buscadon’s decks in great part! I’ve also been doing sentence mining and using Kitsun for my uni law courses. I hope I can keep it up for the coming years.

Hey quick question… how are you able to see what your daily lesson average is like that? Would be nice to see…or did you just calculate it yourself? Thanks!

[s1212z]

I just did it myself based on the last screenshot I shared here

[Buscadon]

Me after moving to another country
Ready to get back to actually studying though lol

@TheSuicidalMuffin I’m glad to see my sets have helped you out! If for some reason I haven’t responded to suggestions, just send me a message on the forums and I’ll check em out!
