Hey guys,
First of all I would like to thank you guys.
It's really amazing to see the help you give one another, way to go to all participants! =]

I am studying since the end of march and already covered RTK1 (w\o) the supplement, and right now I am half way through Tae Kim (with the shared cloze delete deck).

I Don't think I have developed a good learning routine up until now.
I expose about 13 new cards (because it is not i+1 most of the time) every time.
and I don't expose more because I am afraid I will burn out from reviews.

what am I suppose to do in my spare time besides Immersion?
Right now I have some free time before University starts in October.

Would love to get your schedule or something like that =

thank you!

You're through RTK1 and halfway through Tae Kim? That's awesome! Sounds like you're doing very well indeed.

I don't think 13 new grammar cards is unreasonable, given the complexity of the material. Go at a pace that doesn't overwhelm you.

If you want to add to this routine and have the time to spare, you can do a vocab deck like Core2K/6K.

Or, start working through simple material (you'll find links to scads on this site) and creating your own vocab list.

You could start using subs2srs to rip your favorite anime or drama, and start learning from that. http://forum.koohii.com/viewtopic.php?id=2643

You could also do RTK2. Here's some advice on how some folks have gone down that path: http://forum.koohii.com/viewtopic.php?id=5443

Bottom line is, you're not supposed to be doing anything. But you CAN be doing a lot of things, if you have time and motivation. I wouldn't worry, though, that you're not doing "enough". It sounds like you're progressing well. Only add more things to your plate if you enjoy them, and are confident they won't burn you out on Japanese.

I would start some vocab if you haven't already.

Right now it represents so much of a time commitment that I really wish I would have started it sooner. I could see with my current pace finishing 2K in 2 months and 6k in 6 more months.
