Thanks for the replies, Bethany and Roxane. After some careful thought, I’m going to go with Bethany’s recommendation of not overloading on vocab. That way, I can learn in smaller, manageable segments while continuing my grammar studies.
While thinking about this decision, I did extensive research on textbooks, such as Genki. I was thinking of buying Japanese for Busy People Vol. 1 (Kana Edition) as a supplement. However, I’m not sure what’s best, especially for someone that has completed Seasons 1-3 of TextFugu.
If anyone has any input, I’d appreciate the info!
Thanks for the advice, Bethany; I appreciate it. I reached my first case of burnout at the second Verb List, and I’ve been extremely careful ever since.
I took a look ahead, and, as you said, 32 “Nouny” Adverbs appear later in the Season. (Plus Kanji and 17 colors.) I think I’ll try your method, since I’m extremely interested in particles and grammar. I’ll just keep a list of what vocab I haven’t finished studying.
It’s nice to see someone at the same general spot I am. I just started all 66 adjectives, but I’m trying to take it slow after learning all 51 verbs at the end of Season 3.
I can’t give you the TextFugu-specific answer, but I can at least provide some help. First of all, avoid Google Translate. Second, consider the example sentences at Jisho.org.
Throw the word into the Jisho.org search and select the “Sentences” link under the desired definition. What’s nice about it is that you can select any portion of the sample sentence to define it. (The example sentences use Kanji, and, if you’re at Season 4, TextFugu has only taught you around 50 of them.)
I hope that helps.
