Explanation of terms used here

#1
I've been reading up on study techniques on this forum the past few days and I'm continually coming across terms or acronyms I'm not familiar with. I did some looking around and couldn't find an explanation of what most of them were. So for the sake of myself and any others who are new to these methods, would someone please be kind enough to give a brief explanation or definition for these terms and any other common ones I may have missed?

SRS

Subs2srs

Core2k, Core6k, Core2k6k

2001KO

AJALT

---Thanks a lot!

This should explain most of the terms used here and more: http://rtkwiki.koohii.com/wiki/Glossary

On a side note: is it just me, or is it sort of difficult to find this site's wiki? Maybe I was looking in the wrong place (I probably was), but I had to hit the Googles to find it.

SRS - Spaced Repetition System

Subs2srs - Program to convert subtitles into SRS import friendly format (Anki I think)

Core2k - Core 2000, list of 2000 most common Japanese words based on some newspaper vocabulary

Core6k - Core 6000, list of 6000 most common Japanese words based on some newspaper vocabulary

2001KO - 2001 Kanji Odyssey e-book & learning program with lots of example sentences that have audio, but here 2001KO means usually the sentence list itself.

AJALT - AJATT All Japanese All The Time a blog created by a guy that supposedly became fluent in 18months of learning, used mostly as inspiration and a source for wacky theories about language learning.

Yes, it's very difficult to find the wiki. It should be in the top menu bar like all the other parts of the site.

Ah, thank you! I had no idea this wiki existed. I'll have to start looking into some of these.

Sweet! It would have been a shame for the poor thing to die out in obscurity when it's already such a great resource.
