Post: The "I just finished RTK1, please congratulate me"...

Finished! I shouldn't say finally, cause I just started RTK at the end of February, but I got a bit behind my own schedule. In the end, I even slowed down for the part 5 days and by now I don't feel t...

You're definitely too late for that. I bought my 60 GB PS3 in Octobre last year. By that time they already stopped producing it and they sold out pretty fast. Online and so on works fine. The only pr...

Post: Kanji to Keyword - anyone else expieriencing this?

Post: Kanji to Keyword - anyone else expieriencing this?

This whole 'messing up the SRS System with seeing Kanji before the time is up' is somewhat stupid anyway, I guess. It might be true in a very limited way - let's say you're currently working on RtK an...

Post: Kanji to Keyword - anyone else expieriencing this?

Okay, this may be a bit ridiculous, and it's not a real issue, but here's the deal: Since I'm close to finishing RtK I try to read more and more Japanese text, but since I've always done Keyword to K...

Post: Using word combinations VS concrete visuals

Most of the time I tend to use catchphrases or some play on words to remember certain Kanji. This doesn't make a difference really. The whole "must use an image" point is a bit shallow anyway. If it ...

Don't worry too much. At most I got around 140 reviews on one day, but right now it's reclining again and I'm more or less going towards the end. Most of the time I kinda cheat myself, cause I'm using...

I've never made that much effort for remembering stories. I know many people use the "a few minutes of story making per kanji". It usually doesn't take me that long. Also while reviewing: I always wr...
