    @missingno15
    lol xD
    Looking so much forward to it? :P

    in reply to: The Study Thread #20869

    @Mister
    Thanks :) I need to get used to being able to understand so much from the context in Japanese… That is so different from English & Danish :)
    Finished “too much” lesson today, which finally introduced で :D
    At the moment I have 300-500 cards review every day, and it is only increasing so I will have to slow down a bit, because I don’t have 1h to do anki every day :/ 1 lesson = 40 new words, 10 kanji -_- takes some time to get it stuck in your head!
    Planning on doing a lang-8 entry tomorrow to try using some of the grammar I have learned over the 2 last lessons – will link it here if i decide to.

    in reply to: The Study Thread #20840

    Haha,
    If you make no mistakes you won’t be learning :P
    Doesn’t change the fact that I hate to make mistakes, but at the level I am at atm, I pretty much always make some kind of mistake… So annoying! Well I will be looking forward to the day where I can look back at my lang-8 and have a laugh, but as for now I will leave that to you guys :)
    Thanks for the advice Mister.
    Does this make sense then:
    日本にいきたかったら今いったらどうですか?

    As for 勉強, I didn’t know about “suru verbs” at the time, so that is why I fucked that up so badly :P
    I will link future entries here, seems like you could have some fun with it, so no reason not to :P

    Arg! so tired of being a beginner!

    in reply to: The Study Thread #20820

    I will take on thing at a time, and even though some books I ordered will arrive this week, I will complete TextFugu first before I move over to something else(for grammar). Still at waaaaaay beginner level, but hopefully I will reach で&と chapters by the end of this month :P
    As for today, I got an overview of how many kanji I know from JLPT5, and actually I only need to learn 36 kanji in 6 months (lol xD) in order to know the kanji for it. Will however aim for JLPT4 instead, but I am still considering taking JLPT5 this summer. Also did reviews, and a little bit of writing more sentences using a new sentence pattern I learned
    日本語を習ったら今勉強すったらどうですか?
    should make sense if my logic is right :)

    in reply to: JLPT? #20807

    I think I will finish with 5 stroke here on TextFugu, I only need 1 group more :P
    I have however taken a look at the free PDF, and I don’t know if it is me :/ It would be awesome to actually know all kanji and what they mean, but RTK only teaches the meaning and nothing else. It could be a great thing to start to immerse more, so that I will see kanji that I know what mean, insted of just skipping through everything I have no clue what means :) I will give it a try after finishing 5 stroke here! Who knows, maybe I will like it?
    As for books, I ordered The book recommended by Missing, as well as 1 other, though it will take some time to get them delivered from amazone UK :P I should however be receiving them this week :)
    But I think I will go ahead and do JLPT5 & JLPT4 :D It will be a good thing to steer after, and give me motivation. The cost dosen’t bother me, and it is only 1h travel from where I live, so it is pretty easy to get there :) Copenhagen <3
    Thanks for the advise everyone!

    in reply to: The Study Thread #20777

    completed the chapter about “if”
    Did 10 more kanji
    completed ultimate nouns
    added 1 group to ultimate verbs & adjectives

    in reply to: The Study Thread #20775

    Haha
    Correct me all you want irmoony, I never look through what I have written, and even though I know that it shouldn’t be it’s but its, my fingers still decided to put it in there :P
    Thanks for making me aware though

    in reply to: The Study Thread #20769

    Catching up with kanji and ultimate decks… I forgot to add 2 groups to all decks due to the text telling me to do it was placed in a pretty odd spot, so now I am doing 40 words every 3rd day.
    By sunday I can go back to lessons!
    I had 600 cards for review today -_- 1h spend on reviewing… Trying to cram a lot of words has it’s downsides.
    Might get around to do a lang-8 entry, don’t know for sure yet.

    in reply to: The Study Thread #20689

    I have added 1 group to all ultimate decks, learned 20 kanji and finished another lesson :D
    And posted on lang-8 :)

    in reply to: What is next?(soon to be done with TextFugu) #20685

    Thanks for all the advice :)
    Seems like there are a lot of different routes to be taking from here. I don’t know what to choose yet, but I think RTK is next since I want to understand kanji… I hate reading through things, and just having to skip every single kanji which is more than 5 stroke -_-
    Book or not, I don’t really know what I prefer, I will have to look more in to the things you have suggested :)
    The more suggestions the better, everyone learn different ways, so chances are higher that I find what suits me.
    Thanks for the advice!

    in reply to: The problem with timeboxing #20644

    I have never used timeboxing… It just dosen’t work for me.
    What I do insted is I study half my anki cards once I get home, and then study a few more throughout the day. I am always done with reviewing and studying at 22pm, so that I have some time for leisure, and make sure that I am done with my anki decks before I get tired :D

    in reply to: Why is it called "Textfugu?" #20637

    Starfugu reminds me of Clannad lol :D

    in reply to: Hiragana Drag and Drop Records #20598

    lol xD already beaten :P
    I won’t bother training to beat the time though :P

    in reply to: Effectively Using Anki #20587

    I have changed much around in Anki, and I feel that the default settings fit my needs.
    A few things I have change are as follows:
    -Increase leech limit to 99. I don’t want to get my cards leeched, the ultimate decks are the 300 or whatever most used words, I surely want to know them all

    -Set infinite new cards/day on new decks, and then insted of going through a set amount of cards a day, I will use a set amount of time.

    -The decks I make myself(from lang-8 comments) include both Japanese-> English, and English-> Japanese, though English->Japanese is the best on to go for, if you only want one :)

    A final note:
    Do ALL reviews every day!
    reviews>learning new stuff
