Post: Tenso Site

copy/pasted from my tumblr: Tenso.com is a shipping service in Japan. Basically, a lot of great Japanese online stores do not ship internationally. Even Amazon.co.jp does not ship internationally. Th...

Post: Hi I'm new!

Like someone before said, if you are looking for corrections or people to check your writing the people on lang-8 will help you out. I have Tadashii Kanji Kakitori Kun and I have to say, it's not g...

I just looked back through my email and it seems like I ordered it on the 24th July last year and I got it round about the 25th August. 0__o Having said that I am in the UK so it did have quite a dis...

Post: Japanese routine

Right now my routine mostly consists of not forgetting the stuff I already know. This is basically my anki decks for RTK, Kanji Odyssey and my Japanese class. If I have extra time I'll also try and ...

Post: AJATT fosters depression?

It does suck. Exercise can help. So can study. I've always found if my mind is full of Japanese, I'm not thinking about anything else. Using SRS has also helped my concentration a bit I would say. I t...

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

Congratulations to all those who got here! I started in July and it's now November. I finally got to frame 2200. I only have half of those kanji in the 4+ Reviews column though. I have a lot of work...

Post: 大好き vs. 愛してる

My Japanese teacher told me that she never says 愛してる to her husband and if her husband says that to her then he's probably drunk. She did admit to saying it to her cat though.

Post: On frame 1531. 3/4 of the way done!

I can't believe I've got this far to be honest. I'm on 1651 cards (just finished chapter 39 in 6th edition). I seem to have picked up an extra card somewhere... ;^__^ Hopefully I can finish this off ...

Post: Remembering the kanji, but forgetting the story...

The story is a device to help you remember. If you don't need it to remember then I think that's fine. My goal is to remember the Kanji. If a keyword comes up and I can produce the kanji then I pass ...

Thanks for the input guys. It helps a lot. I was just having a bit of a wobble. I think what I was doing wrong was probably forcing myself through a lesson every day regardless of how long it was rat...

Post: Do you stop for failed cards?

The other day I somehow ended with 50 or so failed cards and I'm only 500 frames in. Instead of moving on to the next lesson I decided to stop and spend more time on the restudy cards. What I'm wonde...

Gosh lesson 18 was quite big, but it was one of the most fun so far. 514 frames down...(using 6th edition). I would never have got this far without the site (and through reading the advice on the for...

Post: Started with Anki; New to RevtK

I'm pretty new to it but I find I like the site better than anki. It's easier to set the cards up, it's got the stories all ready and waiting, plus you can export everything and use your stories on th...
