Hello dear Forum, in forward i want to apologize for my unexperienced English. I didn't knew where i should post this, so i decided on the learning resources.
As this thread title suggests I'm almost done with RTK1 (frame ~1600 until Saturday I'll be done). So i wanted to get advices and suggestions from experienced people with the knowhow of the Japanese language.
First of all i want to tell something about myself. I begun with RTK1 roughly about a year ago, but i worked alongside in the kitchen (apprentice) and my time for the Kanji's was rather limited. I memorized about 700 Kanjis (without the use of this site) and postponed it for a while, due to the fact that my work was literally killing me. In summer vacation i started again,and stopped AGAIN.After almost a 1 year hiatus i begun again *sigh*. Since the last 10 Days( i quited my job due to stress and less spare time) i learned like a maniac, over 5 hours a day, sometimes motivated,sometimes demoralizing. And yesterday i reached this magical borderline, and asked myself how should i continue?
I've found this forum through coincidence, and i want to thank you all in proper politeness...(I've seen many community's but this one is just kickass , apparently for many reasons.)
As my story and life goes one, i played with my thoughts (one might say i'm rather young than old) and decided to study Japanese Studies. But there are still 1-2 Years left, before I'm capable of studying Japanese.Before i begin to study i want to have a big advantage compared to "normal" collegian's. This are the rough informations about me, and i hope this will help you in a few sort of ways.
Now to the "interesting" part.I'm using the German equivalent and DO posses RTK1 & 2 (in German), and to be honest I'd like to stick with it(with the language as learning resource). Now the big question for me is, what should i do: RTK2, learn compunds, learn the readings, i don't know, like the thread title suggests I'm rather confused.
As for my Japanese language skills, my vocabulary is about 500 words big, and I'm more or less acquainted to the かな(Hira/Kata). I'd like to say this about my grammar but i can't. I know the meanings of "no,mae,ni" casual stuff, you hear in every anime/j-dorama. That's it. Sometimes i just know which particle i should insert by feeling.
As for my spare time...hell, i have lots of spare time. My ambitions are likely, to at least learn to read manga's or easy japanese literature in the next 2 month's. And i hope you all can verify that this is possible in 2 month's
.
In closing comments, i do know about sites like Tae Kim/Kanji damage, and programs like Anki(though I'm unexperienced with anki), but like i said, i'd rather like to study in German. I'm more accustomed to it(English more or less would just be an evasive and alternate route).
If you have any further questions, for example my bra size (I'm male) or telephone number, please, feel free to ask, I'll answer almost
any question.
