Goals to finish things or get to a certain point with your current endeavours aren’t so bad, but saying you’ll *start* something in the new year is kinda stupid – if you want to lose weight, or give up smoking, or start learning a language, just go ahead and do it; no sense waiting till the year ends to start (and most probably give up).

Goal for 2012: assassinate all members of AKB48. With an AK47. Not a particularly stealthy assassination, but still.

But seriously, New Years’ resolutions are kinda stupid, so I don’t have any.

Oh hey, a fellow Scot, cool :D

Good luck with your studies :)

@Hattori: Oh, I thought when you said “for those who are done with RTK” you meant “This is a question directed at those who have done RTK”, with the feeling that you were asking what we did while we were in the middle of RTK. Sorry haha. So yeah, that seems fine – I haven’t been doing it, even though I probably should have. Saying that, I did suspend my whole kanji->keyword Anki deck just yesterday; I think maybe only suspending the cards for which I know vocab would have been a better idea, even though I still do review on koohii as well. For the longest time, I was going through Core 2000 without writing them down as I answered them, which also seems kinda stupid XD; it takes much much longer to do the reviews each day, but it’s a much better way of doing things.

@Yggbert: Yeah, it feels good once you’re done and on to the “good stuff”, but it just gets overwhelming if you rush through it too fast.

@Hattori: Ok, I don’t really get that method XD If you are just going to delete the card after what could be only a day of seeing it, why are you even bothering with RTK in the first place? What good will it do if you just give up looking at the cards altogether? You may as well just ditch RTK and keep on learning kanji through vocab.

@Yggbert: Unless you’ve REALLY got nothing better to do, don’t do 100 per day XD The reviews get too much even after a few days. I had to drastically reduce them because it just got horrible. That was when I’d stopped doing everything and did only RTK, and while I was unemployed and in the house all day, so I had plenty of time but it just didn’t work haha. Everyone has different limits, of course, but by the end I think I was doing anything from 30-60/day, which was still quite a lot.
Keep doing Anki, but TextFugu isn’t going ANYWHERE fast, so it’s not like there is anything to “give up” XD

@Hattori: Nah, just keep doing them. Covering a vocab word somewhere else doesn’t guarantee that you know how to write that kanji, which is the point of RTK. Say you learned 優 and the next day you learned the word 優しい, it wouldn’t really make sense to delete the RTK card.
