I have Introduction to Modern Japanese and have been using Anki to drill vocabulary before every lesson. What I want to do now is find a way to drill sentences, or rather sentence structures from the book to help with me learning to think in Japanese and provide structures for when I undertake the act of keeping a daily journal. I'm not really sure how to go about doing this though.
Say there is a phrase like: これは私のほんです.
I can make a card with a front like "これは私の____です and write the full sentence with the noun on the back. I could even get a picture of a game guide or whatever book I own and stick it on the card's front or something. Or whatever.。
Here's another short phrases I thought of using:
ゲームにはまっています。
仕事は10じにいます。
今は必要かきました。
あの方はくさいです。。。
私は負けた、でも楽しいでした。。。(after playing a long set of Street Fighter 3 matches)
Now this is something anyone could apply for themselves. I could even substitute nouns and images to it. The thing is, is this the way to go about THINKING in Japanese? I'm trying to force myself to think in Japanese. I began counting in Japanese, thinking things like "手伝いましょうか?" at work in situations that warrant it and stuff like that. Whenever I play a game in Japanese I try to think in Japanese on how I feel about what I am doing or deciding what I will do next. I just don't know how to use Anki to get the most outta this part of the language learning process.
