Well, hell week at work has finally ended, I hope, and I'm finally ready to dive into life after RTK1. With Anki by my side and Misaki-chan speaking to me via my new flashcards, I'm ready to go!! Or.. I think I am. I thought I'd ask how you folks normally do your reviewing. When I was doing RTK, I made paper flashcards to drill throughout the day, and then did my electronic reviews at night. But, now that I'm doing UBGB sentences and audio flashcards, I'll be looking at the book, ripping MP3s, making Anki cards.. I don't think making paper flashcards as well is an option. There just aren't enough hours in the day. So, how do you study sentences, AJATT people? Just sit in front of the computer and flip cards that way? How often? I wish my job let me sit in front of my computer more often. I'll miss studying with my paper cards in the car..

Register with the Anki server, then upload your deck to it and turn on syncing. That way, you can review wherever you get the web. (Although the buttons are too freakin' tiny on my iPhone...) The syncing works really well. There's a cell phone mode, too, but I think that's specifically for JP cell phones. It works on my iPhone, but it's even tinier than the simple/web modes. (And no Flash. Dangit, Apple! Get with the program!)
For the most part, I keep my deck pretty straightforward, as I'm doing KO these days. I review in the morning, add cards, review in the evening, add cards. I try to review every day so I can learn new cards at a good clip.
I need to finish up UBJG, as it's a good review of what I learned before, but I just don't have time to do it and KO right now.
I also don't mess with adding sounds/pictures/etc. I find that just reading/writing is enough for me for now. I want to get as many cards in there and in my brain as quickly as possible.
I may just exploit the local university again and audit another JP class just to have a place to practice speaking.
(Hey, it's only $20.)
