Hi there RTK Warriors!! I just wanted to say this:
I've arrived here... twice. Freaking TWICE. 3030 kanji all over again, but this time around under four months.
I want to ask you only one thing:
NEVER - STOP - REVIEWING
If for some reason you have to put on hold your Japanese project, if for some reason you just can't immerse yourself enough in the language, or learn vocabulary, or practice with sentences, or whatever Japanese related... keep reviewing the kanji and kana on your SRS anyways. Keep reviewing even if you don't clear all pending cards each day. Keep reviewing even if you can only do it for 20 or 15 minutes a day and even if you can't clear all your cards by the time limit.
Take a little bit of time each day to review. Make it the first thing you do when you fire up your computer, even before checking email, Facebook or whatever. And if you miss a day, whatever, just review the next day and keep doing it.
Why? So once you decide to re-start your Japanese project you can get started on immersion, vocabulary and sentences (and maybe grammar is that's your thing) right away. So you don't have to spend from 3 to 6 months or a year getting through all of RTK all over again. So you start your Japanese game from your kanji Save File instead of having to hit New Game
That's it. Don't make the same dumb mistake that I made. Use your SRS, and your future self will be forever grateful. And now I'm off to finally learn how to read in 日本語.
Muchas gracias a todos!!
