Finally got a decent grasp of all the verbs from Season 3. Took me longer than I wanted but at least I know them now. Mnemonics definitely helped alot. Next up sentence enders :)
I’m looking forward to the new lessons because I’ve been doing almost nothing but vocab for a month now. \o/ I should probably look at the sections on sentence enders in my particle book but they don’t seem too that important atm, maybe that’s a bad way to look at it?
Studying continues, though I have little to show for it, I guess. Cramming in 2000 facts of anything is insanity but fun to try. xD Also: spilled coffee on recent JP notes. >.< Whoopsie.
@kanjiman8 Nice. :P I recall a difficulty I had going through TF was balancing the grammar learning and then pausing for ungodly amounts of time to cram in vocabulary, then returning to find the grammar points half forgotten. Nevertheless it's all super beneficial in the end. :3

@ Chigun
I find equally focusing on grammar, vocab and kanji is the best method for me. Although it is tempting at times to just do kanji and then go back to grammar.Reading my shiny new Hyrule Historia book, I’m realising just how many words I don’t know >.< Can't wait to finish Core6k :D
Just as a side note, I'm moving in with 2 guys in September for Uni and they are both learning Japanese too! :D The first guy started around December I think, and just recently finished RTK; the other has just finished learning hiragana. Will be quite cool having 3 learners all under one roof haha :D Sounds like some kind of sitcom…

What’s it gonna be called?
I’ve finished 2 of the Soumatome books for the JLPT N3 (kanji and grammar) and found them both to be pretty useful. There are 3 more to go; vocabulary, reading comprehension and listening comprehension.
missingno15: What’s it gonna be called?
Friends? :D
Just began Season 4. Really feel like I’ve progressed alot since I came back to TF in March. Better get started on remembering those な adjectives :)
I’ll call it フレンズ. Just need to find 3 girls that live nearby… And a coffee shop.
Ok, so I am finally home after spending nine weeks with my in-laws in Michigan. In nine days, I am moving 1,500 miles. And for some crazy reason, I decided NOW is a good time to completely redo my study methods. Huh.
I am sick and tired of making no progress at all. I feel like I’ve been doing little but tread water for the past year and it’s actually RTKs fault. Well, my fault, but RTK was my method of madness. I pushed way too hard on the last 1,000 kanji, became swamped in reviews, quit, became even more swamped, and have spent a year trying to get out of that hole. WHY!?!?!? Such a waste of time. I should have just given up on it earlier.
I’ve suspended almost my entire RTK deck, except the cards I’m actually caught up on. I refuse to spend 60 minutes a day studying vocab and kanji via Anki. And I am diving into Japanese materials. I’m scared to death about it but it’s the only way I’m going to make any progress. Kanji out of context and random vocab is not going to make me proficient at Japanese.
So there’s my new goal. No more than 15 minutes of vocab review in Anki each day. A short grammar lesson. At least 15 minutes per day reading Japanese materials. It’s not a huge commitment, but it’s better than last year’s terrible efforts. It’s a start.
Good luck, everyone!
Good to see you back on the forums Cassandra. Good luck with the move and getting your Japanese studies back on track.
Cassandra お疲れ様です
I still need more people to try this out http://www.textfugu.com/bb/topic/2012%E5%B9%B4%EF%BC%96%E6%9C%88%EF%BC%91%EF%BC%94%E6%97%A5%E3%80%80%EF%BC%8D%E3%80%80thats-right-lets-listening-comprehension-%E3%83%86%E3%82%B9%E3%83%88%EF%BC%81/#post-31859
Makes it more worthwhile to put the answers afterwards
Thanks, kanjiman. :) Feels good to be back.
Missing – I’ll take a look at it.
Kept myself to 10 minutes of vocab review. Wouldn’t it figure that my Jpod101 subscription expired today? That’s what I WAS using for my grammar studies. I also found this blog and read today’s post – http://sirokurotubu.blog22.fc2.com/
