Yay! Reaching the 508th frame after two weeks is great Smile! Being a quarter of the way done (almost) sure is a nice reward as well!

nest0r Wrote:j/k Good job. Every few hundred kanji or so you'll probably notice an increase in your skills. If you don't notice, try going back and looking at the stories you used/wrote early on. I know I was always shocked to look back and see how hard some of those kanji were to me at the time. ^_^
You're right. When I'm reviewing, I look at the kanji that were seemingly insurmountable at the time I first learned them, and just smile, knowing that this is WORKING! Smile

Woot just got 500Frames last night...but for some reason i wont be satisfied till i'm at 1000+ Is it just me or does it get easier when he(Heisig) lets you go free with the stories from part III and on. I am going much faster and making much better stories/using this site's stories.

*first post*

Passed 500 mark today, exactly 2 weeks in. Unfortunately I've got uni exams coming up real soon, and RTK has turned into a form of procrastination! Good for finishing quick, bad for doing well at uni... Heh. Big Grin

Hopefully I'll be back to report passing 1000 in another two weeks.. Or will I start slowing down now?

To join the crowd: ROOOOOOAARRRRRRR!!!!!!

Yup, just hit 500 today and I'm feeling pretty good about it. But I couldn't have done it without this site (to give me the framework) and the commenters on the forums (to inspire me to know it can be done). So, thanks to all of you. Now, onward to 1000!

finished up to kanji #508 today. Kinda mad cause i only did 39 today (lessons 19 and 20). But I don't think i could do another 63, and I hate breaking up lessons, unless they are already noted as seperated in the book (lesson 18). Whoooo 1/4 of the way there. 1000 is in my sights, I eat kanji like a fat kid eats cake.

Heh. I remember seeing this thread a few hundred kanji ago and feeling doubtful that'd I'd ever get this far..

I'm actually beyond 600 now, and while I'm not moving as fast as many people do, I'll finish eventually.

RRROOOOOAAAAARRR!!!!

oh man, i'm so close, at 412 today...i want to get to 500 so bad. i'm leaving for japan in two months and i wanted to finish this book before then, but i've been slacking about adding new ones, so who knows. anyway, the goal for the rest of the week is definitely get to 500 (but hopefully closer to 600.) i cant wait to post that beautiful number!

501 as of this morning... ROOOAAAAR! Those of you knocking out 100 a day are inspiring.

I go to Japan in a week, and won't have much time to add characters for most of the next month, but I plan on keeping up with my reviews, bitch-slappin' those expired kanji up to the 5th column.

Minasan arigatou!
