Thanks everyone for the good luck wishes. My Japanese studies have stalled for sure, but I hope to get back on track soon. As for why to pay for the program - I'm completely willing to pay good mone...

Just as an update - I finally got an initial $200 refund from AJATT almost two months ago. They mentioned they would start sending me $100/month and the next installment would come in a month...

Hey guys. A while back, I tried doing the Silverspoon/Neutrino program. Started out on Silverspoon and transitioned into the new Neutrino program about 4-5 months in if I remember correctly. Silver...

Keep fighting everyone, and to provide encouragement (esp. for Warrigal) - near the end there's a primitive "Bruce Lee". If you thought the Mr. T and Spiderman stories were funny, you'll love the Bru...

Thank you Warrigal, I couldn't have done it without all the great stories here. I've high hopes that you (and everyone else doing reps when they'd rather be relaxing) will make it! I'm definitely ...

Made it to #2005 - two chapters to go! My retention for mature cards has dropped to 73% or so, the newer cards and first-seen are hovering around 80%. Today I did over 360 reviews in 1.6 hours and I...

Made it to #1895...after 335 reps and 90 minutes. I'm in the middle of the dreaded chapter 51, it's not too bad so far. Really pushing myself to finish!
