potempkin hasn't posted on the forums for almost a month, so I was wondering if anyone else could invite me to the spreadsheets. When I am done with KO2001 (soon) I want to use KiC 2, and can contribute by entering chapters whenever I have the time.



My email is kai.froland@gmail.com

Thanks in advance

I want to help also, studying KIC right now...

Just found this group.

I thought they finished some time ago...

I'm doing KiC atm, entered chapter 17 yesterday. I wanted to finish in 3 months, but it's harder then I expected. Hoping to finish before 12/31/2010. Typing the sentences takes forever. On the other hand my spelling has improved.

@crosspath. How far along are you?

22 or so... problem is that i am not constant enough... too much to study...

I was using two lists one for words and one for sentences, i was studying even the rombus marked words, but as it takes ages to write all the definitions and the workbook sentences i have decided to study only the example sentences...

Not sure if it's good enough though... Studying the vocabulary on its own was not time efficient, so i discarded the method... well, i lost quite a bit of time, so now i just plan on learning the words with examples... There are pretty much nearly unused words in the reference book...

Would like to study all, but as i am running out of time... i am going to try 1kyuu this year, already have 2kyuu...

Would be pretty good to get that file with the sentences, even if it were just the first book... if anyone have it... i can show proof that i have the books ofc. If the file is not complete i can help finishing it.

I have been adding everything from the workbooks with a check-box, and nothing directly from the reference book. So far I have 651 entries from the first 19 chapters.

It takes me 1-2 hours to typeup/enter each chapter. It's such a hassle, but I'll stick with it over premade decks because my spelling/typing has improved.

I'm estimating that I'll get a total of 4500 sentences in total when done.

Are others adding the none-sentence sections of the workbooks?

^^I add everything as well. I used the spreadsheet to create an Anki deck and added all the non-included entries that I felt I needed to review. It takes about 10-15 minutes tops per chapter. I used to type everything alone; I'm pretty grateful that the spreadsheet has reduced my workload! Watch out for some typos though, like incorrect furigana and kanji.

Hello,

I was wondering if this project is still active and if someone can invite me to the KIC spreadsheet. I am happy to send along a pic of the book. Also as an extension of this project, I have all of the sound files for KIC (words / sentances). Unfortunately I need a clever programmer to help me strip them out of a massive HTML file. I've already done it for the jukugo (all 8,000+) but need help with the sentences.

seems a shame to have done all this work and not uploaded it to anki as a shared deck..

How did you get all the sound files? Was it your own recording, or a native Japanese speaker, or was there some official sound transcript of the sentences in KIC?

I have an Anki deck of the KIC material with audio, extracted from the iKIC app available from the iTunes Store. There are 9000+ facts. I can give it to people who've bought iKIC, and want an SRS environment for the material (the iKIC interface leaves a little bit to be desired).

Wow I want in on this too if you have audio of the sentences.

Hi. There is an official audio transcript of all the words but I need a clearly program script writer to help match the sentences to the corresponding jukugo. KIC also came as a standalone program in addition to the iphone app that is FLASH driven but the underlying data is just HTML links.

How easy is it for someone to get the KIX app and say....just use a program like audacity to rip the sentence audio to use in anki?

The only thing that is missing is the arrangement of which sentence goes to which vocab item. The audio files all discreetly arranged 1 per sentence. I'm not sure if the standalone KIC Flash app is for sale technically. You can buy KIC at the iphone app store. I was a student at one of the colleges that has a special arrangement to teach the book and software so I got a cd with the program.

Here's some more info about the iKIC app that hopefully answers your question. When you purchase the app, you'll download:

1. Audio (.mp3) files, archived in a speech.zip file
2. Pictures of the kanji, in a kanji.zip file, and
3. An extremely useful SQL database file, called iKICData.sql.

The SQL file contains the kanji, sentences using the kanji, and variants. It also contains the mapping between audio files, kanji, and sentences using the kanji. So with a rudimentary understanding of database querying, it's possible to extract the data and put it into a form that you can import into Anki.

Hello

I am not sure who owns the sentence list but if anyone could email it to me it would be greatly appreciated. . .

Here is a link to a photograph of the books that I bought:

I would have gladly helped out with this project but I just now noticed it unfortunately . . . but if there is anything left that I could contribute please let me know.

Thanks a lot.

Hi, can I please have access to the sentence list? I've been typing them by hand so far, and it's tiring...

Here's all my books... (deleted)

Edit: Thank you very much! I got the link. :-) This will be so helpful!

I am very interested in the sentence list as well if anyone has this. Also any information about the best way to approach K.I.C would be helpful. I just finished RTK and want to know where I should go next. I bought the K. I. C books and I'm having a hard time with them. I think the SRS would be helpful . My email is dsesno@yahoo.com ThankS!

vosmiura Wrote:erlog, are you still enthusiastic about KIC? How is it turning out?

Yeah, life stuff got in the way of me continuing to study. Sorry I was such a flake on everything. I just recently got back into it, and I'm plugging away. I'm up to Ch.38 in terms of sentences of KiC seen in my deck, I'm up to kanji 700-800 or something in Heisig, and I've been playing that Kanken DS3 game. I have noticed my reading comprehension improving by leaps and bounds almost every single day thanks to KiC.

I'm on track to finish making my way through everything in about 2 more months. I'm adding about 300 new sentences from KiC per week. I'm adding about 20 a day from Heisig.

After KiC I'm going to put in all the sentences from my grammar dictionary.

I started putting vocabulary and sentences from KiC into Anki about 2 weeks ago, at a rate of 1 lesson per day, and now I'm at lesson 15, and it's beginning to feel like quite a slog when I approach the end of my daily reviews, or when I get bored with entering the day's lesson with quite a few sentences left to go.

I know the approach laid out in AJATT stresses enjoyment in order to keep motivation up for the long term, so I'd love to hear from people who have embarked on the same task. Anyone here finished learning all of volume 1 (or even both volumes)? How was it in your experience?

I've signed up for the July N2 and I hope to complete volume 1 just as the exam day arrives, so I expect to be able to understand far more of the test text than I would have without KiC, and I also expect my reading speed to be slightly faster because I encounter fewer words that I don't understand. At the time I signed up for this I saw it just as a practice run for the real deal in December, and didn't expect to have a chance of passing in July, but now I entertain the possibility of passing and trying my hand at N1 in December!

erlog, you're doing great! How the hell do you find time to do all that each day if you don't mind me asking?

Actually my flashcard study regimen only takes about 2 hours a day between Heisig and KiC. I do it first thing in the morning, and most mornings I'm finished at around 9:30am.

If I have time the rest of the day then it gets filled with stuff like Japanese video games, Japanese TV shows or Kanken DS3. The Kanken thing is far less serious to me, and it's just kind of a check on my overall ability.

So I do a fairly small amount of really mandatory stuff, and then a lot of other stuff as I feel like it throughout the day. This makes it pretty easy to power through on days where I really don't feel like studying. That was always my problem a long time ago. I'd have some days where I could study for like 8 hours, but then others where I couldn't study at all.

So I'd study all day for those 8 hours, but then the flashcards would pile up when I didn't have time to review them. This time I'm making it a point to stick to a very very consistent pace so I don't burn myself out.

I was wondering if anyone managed to link up the audio from the iKiC app to an Anki deck. I'm currently 200 cards away from finishing book 1 and I hope to have book 2 done in time for this July's JLPT test. By the way, I study all the content from the workbooks in Anki i.e. sections I, II and III of each chapter; I believe the original deck created for this project only contained the part III content. If anyone decides to study this book with Anki, I highly suggest you study everything.

Hello,

I wonder, how could I get access to the kanji in context anki deck that has been made by the community?

Thanks

Hi, I feel bad sponging off this project now that it is completed but i've only started using Kanji in Context and would love access to the list of sentences so I can correct my own mistakes
If anyone is still using this post my email is hmr_dixon@hotmail.com
Thanks,
