The Study Thread

[missingno15Member]

Thanks Cassandra!

Father in law started his third round of chemo yesterday so we’re back in the hospital. :(

I’m sorry to hear that. I can sympathize with your father in law because I actually had chemotherapy myself when I was around 8-10 years old because I have lupus. It was a miserable experience so I hope for the best.

Today, I read this

I went to study today, and then suddenly: Diablo III invites. Everywhere.

Resist!

Missing – Sorry to hear about your Lupus. That is not fun. :(

I’m having a hard time fitting in even 20 minutes of Japanese a day. I don’t feel guilty about it, though, since I am trying. Today – 20 minutes, down to 2,185 cards due.

Got in 20 minutes of Anki today. 2,113 cards due. I feel like I’m not making much progress but at least I’m maintaining the progress I’ve already made…

lol this will end up being one long countdown thread xD You’ll reach 0 sooner or later if you keep at it :)

@ Cassandra
Just out of curiosity, which season and chapter did you stop studying at on TF?

To work through a large backlog, you might want to consider using settings like this:

* 2 new cards per day
* new cards before reviews
* review cards with shortest interval first
* 20 minute timebox

That way you will spend the first part of your study session working on new/young cards, and whatever time you have left will go toward the backlog. Cards that already have large intervals are a low priority, because you probably already know them.

I have the book as well but I bought it a while ago and couldn’t get much use out of it so I shipped it back to the states with a bunch of other stuff to get ready for the move this summer. Hopefully by the time I see it again, I’ll be able to understand some of it.
There’s not much to say about it really that isn’t said in the description…A DVD with some interviews and a book with the transcripts and some vocab/grammar explanations to go alongside. My only complaint is that there was no audio CD or MP3s or anything of the interviews. I wanted to put them on my MP3 player so I could listen on the go and had to rip the audio off the DVD which is considerably more of a pain.

Still trying to get that English thing down?
Just give up, you’ll never sound like a native.

[missingno15Member]

You’ll all see one day.
