I have another question. What resources did you guys use to look up words. For instance, in the second sentence ドアをどんどんとたたいた。 I don't know what とたたいた this means and I can't figure it out.

I haven't had any time to study this week. It's been pretty hectic and when I have free time I have just been lazy. I'm basically going to start over this weekend, but with some improvements.
