Brilliant, thanks a lot! And apologies for casting aspersions on the current state of the Anki docs, was letting past experience mar my opinion!

Ah yes, the act of actually spending that extra time productively! To be honest I don’t exactly spend all my working hours productively as it is, so maybe that’s something I should look at instead… Regardless, thanks for the food for thought!
Yeah you’re correct, I probably do have a week or two to experiment, but that does make it seem more daunting somehow. And yeah the nap thing is something else I was wondering about, I assume the idea is that you become better at napping as your sleep cycle changes? (I guess because you’re actually more tired!)
Also, did you find that when you were trying it, you actually spent more time studying/working?
Cool, thanks for the input! I’ll likely try and find a good few days where I’m free and give it a go. From everything I’d read it was difficult to ascertain whether even trying it would cause me terrible, irreparable damage or not! If I try it and have anything to report I’ll post it up here.
You definitely should, if game dev’s something you’d like to get into!
That does sound cool, though I’ll admit to knowing little to nothing about the American healthcare system! I’ve tried a little bit of server side development for web services in PHP and ASP.NET, thought it was pretty interesting, and I’m currently teaching myself HTML5/CSS and Javascript in attempt to stay relevant :P
Also it’s awesome that you got an internship, I chose my course based mostly on the (supposedly) fantastic prospects for a years paid placement in industry, but that turned out to be rather less of an option than I’d hoped, so I’m trying to make up for that by working hard through my summer break.
I had a very similar experience attempting to start studying TextFugu this time last year, was feeling like a bit of a flake, but I’m glad I’m keeping up my study a bit better this time around (and congrats to you, similarly, for sticking with it!) Wow, season 5 seems rather far away right now :P I signed up for the WaniKani beta and got an invite yesterday, I’ll have to give it a good look!
So what got you interested in studying Japanese? Any past/planned trips to Japan? :)
Ah, I’ve heard of Ruby but never used it, however if you’ve used Java before then C# isn’t a far cry from that. Unity is an absolutely ace tool, free to use whilst you’re learning and because it’s so popular at the moment the support is really solid. If you were to give it a go I’d recommend getting into Javascript though, it’s a really transferable skill these days, what with all the web development going on!
So what do you do with Ruby? The wikipedia page called it ‘general purpose’, so I suppose that could extend to anything! Also, how long have you been studying Japanese? I’ve just been going through the very first set of Kanji and Kanji Vocab stuff in season 2, and really enjoying it!
Hi Eihiko,
Glad to hear someone else feels the same, there’s something nice and relaxing (although not so far removed from programming) about assimilating bits of a language and trying to build up an understanding. I also find it nice and therapeutic to work on paper sometimes!
It must be said I’ve not studied a wide spectrum of programming languages. I started off working in Java at college where I built some simple text based stuff, since being at uni I’ve spent most of my time working in Unity, and though it is a bit flavor of the month I’ve really enjoyed getting used to the Unity API. I generally work in C# but I’m not at all adverse to a bit of JavaScript, especially with my dad (also a software developer) harping on about it to me all the time! I reckon I’d say C# is my favourite language though, purely due to how much experience I have in it!
What about yourself? :)
