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..

I just sit in front of the computer to make cards and review. I try and break up my reviewing into chunks so I don't get bored/go insane from doing 100 reviews in a row.

HORIZONTAL FLASH CARDS!
I mean, basically, yeah. Leave anki on and look at it a couple times a day to review. Example, you'd start the day with 150 to review, and work at it a couple times a day, then get it to zero by the end of the day.

I usually have 200 cards to review per day.  I'll stay on top of the reviews in spurts, usually 5 days on, 3 days off.  I just get to a point where I can't stand looking at the Anki screen any longer.  My cards then pile up, and at the 600-700 expired mark I'll go through the whole stack over a weekend day.  During my off days, I read manga and other books of interest. I also add my cards in spurts, usually 300-400 at a time once every one and a half weeks.

Holy shit. You are superman. I had 200 today to go through and I gave myself a migraine trying to get through them throughout the day.

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. big_smile (Hey, it's only $20.)
