mc962 thanks for that advice. I haven't checked this thread for a while as you can see. Apologies. In answer to your points; I'm not sure I'm more motivated at the moment, but I am less demotivated,...

My expectation after doing RTK was exactly what it said in the book. I didn't expect to be able to read or understand written Japanese text. That's fine. But I also didn't quite know how to bridge the...

Just to clarify with my RTK reps. I had them down to about 50 a day with keyword on the front and kanji on the back. As I was concerned with my lack of recognition of the kanjis when reading Japanese ...

Deleting the RTK deck was a bit scary after five years of daily reps, but it seems like that was a good idea judging by the responses here. I mean, they're not getting any easier and I haven't added a...

It's tricky to answer that. With five years of working away at it I'm not sure what constitutes studying 'extensively'. I mean, cumulatively I've probably done an extensive amount of grammar and vocab...

I've been self-studying Japanese since the end of 2008 and I'm quite ready to give up for good. I did RTK1+3 and have been doing Anki reps on those every day for nearly five years. I just deleted m...

Are these decks still available somewhere? I have the special episode one, but since upgrading to Anki 2 I can't see any of them in the central repository: https://ankiweb.net/shared/decks/japanese
