Post: Left to right? Top to bottom?

Haha, I had like 7 or 8 sheets like Alyks in the past. When I went on a month+ hiatus (had a LOT of crap going on, and I just found it hard to get back into it), I lost them. I think there is one unde...

Out of all of the post 500 Kanji, I believe this one was the easiest for me. Why? I'm a massive Haruhi Suzumiya fan. And Haruhi's club is, of course, called the SOS団. So if you still aren't getting i...

Post: Best way to get back into the swing?

Alright, 3 days to clear my review stack. I went slightly lenient on myself, I passed some cards where I would have usually failed them. I don't mean that I was wrong, but something like misshaping a...

Post: Best way to get back into the swing?

So, even though I'm still rushed to an extreme, I have slightly more time, so I'm starting up again today. I barely remember ANYTHING. A lot of them it's "REALLY close but not quite", but still not 1...

Post: Best way to get back into the swing?

When I finally get a chance to get back into Kanji, I will be away from it for a week and a half. I have loads of crap going on right now. I have zero time for kanji until the summer break, which sta...

Not at all. I'm adding 300-400 kanji a week, and I'm not struggling. Well, I had one stint of 3 days where my review dropped into the 60's, and I didn't clear out my fail pile until it had grown to ...

Another concerned topic by me. That's 3 for 3. Lately, in order to keep up with my mad rush to be done learning new characters so I can review the old freely at my leisure, my fail pile has been grow...

Actually, Khatzu did ann article about a week ago on how fluent he was after 18 months. Most of the things he didn't know or couldn't do were cultural things, having less to do with the language. But...

15. Been doing this since the first of the month. 750 in. Slacked off a bit. Should be done by mid-june at the latest. I try to do 50 - 100 a day, but on days where they aren't just sticking, I drop ...

I do try and be fairly honest. The one reason I would hit yes when I got it wrong is if I was REALLY, REALLY close and it was just a dumb error. Like, forgetting to make the bottom stroke of 金 angle u...

Usually, I get anywhere from 85% to 100% on my reviews. I think the lowest I had got was 83% or something like that. This morning, I have no idea what happened, I managed to get only 63%. Almost all ...

Straying off from the Misaki train of thought a bit. I don't intend to be done with RTK for at least 3 or 4 weeks. However, success stories abound with this, I may as well get prepared. I see people...
