Sitbon Wrote:700 reviews a day? 1000!? You do write it down, yeah? It seems pointless to review and not write it down before you flip the card.LOL of course I don't do 1000 a day. I finished a few months ago and I'm down to between 30-60 cards a day. Yes, I still write them down religiously. However; I do them on their due date! What's pointless is to let them sit until you want to do them and then only do 20-30 a day and have 1000 due cards. That will cause you to forget them.

Sitbon Wrote:700 reviews a day? 1000!? You do write it down, yeah? It seems pointless to review and not write it down before you flip the card.That number was for my current vocab reviews. When I was in the midst of RTK I was doing around 200 reviews a day iirc (writing them down).

Well, I haven't posted on here for a while, but now is a good time.
I just finished RTK.
For the second time.
I did it last year and felt amazing, but then the reviews piled up and eventually I stopped reviewing. The knowledge fell away quickly, leading to several months of no Japanese. I picked Japanese back up and have been working at it solidly for months now. 2 months ago I started RTK again - it's flown by with little hassle.
But the moral of the story is to keep reviewing and never stop. Don't let the reviews put you off. 200 a day after finishing is nothing compared to 2 months of effort going back through the book.
I'm feeling hyped now. RTK3 awaits me tomorrow!
Keep your eye on the goal guys, don't get discouraged. Congrats to everyone else in the thread.

I am at 1500 right now but it still slow and steady for me. Lets hope I don't have to do what you did and do it over again. Have fun on RTK 3, I hope it's a blast!

Your absolutely right when you say its just the beginning, however as I read on this site, b/c you have done RTK, sentences or w/e you plan on doing is going to be super easy. Best of luck.

RTK1 finished in 70 days, 15236 anki reps. Done before my deadline, as Wednesday I go across the country for an internship. Now the real fun begins, I guess.

Oh well, after 5 months I finally finished RTk1. I just wanted to thank everyone from the website that made it so easy and fun to learn kanjis, I did most of the kanjis on the bus ( it was a bitch to write them down) but whenever I had a hard time, I would look up the stories of the website, Spider-man helped me ALOT hahaha
it feels rather odd to able to develop this rather unusual stories, but really fun to play with, hell yeah Heisig hahahaha
Rtk2, Rtk3 and Remembering the Kana are already at my book shelf... but for now, I need to study for my calculus and physics test, and of course reviews...
P.S.: The encouragement thread also helped a lot, being bitched really encourages people to do things

Keep up your work on Japanese and good luck.

Congrats to both of you. You won't regret it; I'm constantly thanking Heisig under my breath as I encounter kanji now. Although I'd recommend that you keep up with your daily reviews here if you can; you don't want all that effort to go to waste.

Almost done RTK 1(again, i'm at 1950+) so going to finish it off and head to RTK 3. The second time around it has been fast.

why did you start over ta12121? did you stop your reviews and forget the more rare ones?

kendo99 Wrote:why did you start over ta12121? did you stop your reviews and forget the more rare ones?Just wanted to see what I remembered, yea I did forget some of the rare ones. It's been easy doing it a second time around, I recongize/write the kanji easily. So I kept pressing easy/adding stories for the ones I can't remember well. I doubt I'll be doing this all over again though. I remember when I initial started I did some stuff wrong, so I had to start over again anyways. This was like last summer.(I did it wrong and plus my computer recently encountered blue screen of death as well,so I was like NOOOO! had to reboot everything. So technically this is the third time i'm starting it(but this time around it's more for just seeing what I didn't remember.

Yay! It's true, I just finished the RTK1.
It took me 4 months, and I'm amazed. I never thought I could do it so fast.
I would like to thank all of you who helped me with your stories. You guys are great! Good luck for those who are still on the journey.
Now I'll keep up reviewing!

*Phew*... finally. That was really something, and I hope to god I don't have to "start over" like I read many have had to do. Just gotta muster up and continue with the review I guess.
Thanks for ALL of the awesome stories boy and girls, couldn't have don't it without them!
And congrats to everyone else that have managed this far!
