Then just find something else that will interest you and force you to read and watch loads of Japanese things. I do suggest it not being manga and anime though since that isn’t really natural Japanese.

When you say the first question I assume you actually mean the first question and not the example question^^ I will make an entry to this mini lesson and write out what is said.
留守番電話のメセージを聞いています。

もしもし、たかがですけど
あのー
明日映画に行くことになってたよね
でも急に出張が入っちゃって、それで悪いんだけど来週にしてもらってもいいかなぁ
僕から誘ったのにごめん
映画の後食事ごちそうするから
じゃあ、また電話するよ
本当ごめんね

btw you can sign up for the JLPT from tomorrow :)

No I have not done N3 yet but I will this winter. The reason I watch the N2 videos is because the explanations are great and it also covers all the grammar you need for N3 as well^^ It doesn’t hurt to learn more than what you need to pass :P
Become a 48group fan and you’ll be motivated once again.

1. If all your cards are this format, you need “Japanese Support” in order to make anki convert the brackets to furigana.

2. You can include a parameter that will change the font of a particular field. This is much faster than changing it on every card.Example from one of my own decks:

Det her er et udmærket sted at starte ud og lære mere om at selvstudere, men ingen af løfterne om mere content passer(ifølge hvad andre siger, jeg har ikke brugt denne hjemmeside i langt over et år). Så det var nok meget smart du ikke købte lifetime membership :P For øvrigt er undervisning spild af tid og penge hvis du er motiveret til at studere selv.

And in many cases it doesn’t like in 曲、甲、昌（you see this in names)、厚、硬、堺（if you ever go to Osaka be sure to vist 堺市)、鏡、湯 etc.. I think way over 50% of kanji where this radical is used aren’t related to passing time at all;)

I think pretty much everyone can agree that you can’t become fluent in Japanese only from drilling cards, but what you were saying about anki not putting things to use is entirely up to how you chose to use anki.

good luck not being in Japan and becoming fluent without being a slave of anki. As pointet out here, it will take 6.8 years to reach basic fluency if you learn 5 words a day and over 20 years to reach native proficiency(when it comes to vocab). A retention rate of 80% is a bit low, but changing it to 90% won’t make a huge difference in the time it takes.
