Post: How long did/are you study Japanese a day?

1 hour reps, 1 hour adding, however long I want doing anything else. Sometimes it's nothing, sometimes it's 10+ hours.

孵 because it's the only kanji that contains 卵 radical, and it also hints about what it means. (I had to hit my space bar 17 times on かえる to find that)

That deck is actually linked in the OP. I'm just wondering why there are some words that don't even have definitions for them.

Suspend everything, then you can unsuspend cards at your leisure. Unsuspend a couple hundred cards a day until you work yourself back up to the point you were at.
