I guess it’s really a thing of personal preference.
TextFugu’s Kanji are still pretty awesome nevertheless!You’ll become better and better of course!
Welcome to TextFugu, let’s get along~
The only true reason for me to learn Japanese is that I love the language.
I don’t really need anything other than that.
Being able to speak Japanese has its benefits of course =)Don’t try to force yourself into too long study sessions and
take it a few bites a time, regularly.
In the beginning it might not feel like much, but you will see how
awesomely it will build up. You can do it!
Let’s give it our best, shall we?Practice.
Humans are amazing, they can learn to do
the most impressive feats. But this ability
is bound to certain downsides.
Like learning to Inline-Skate or playing the Drums
our brain needs to memorize complex patterns.
Before that almost every single step uses a lot of
“processing power” of our brain (Imagine someone standing
on skates the very first tme; they also move really awkward
and slowly, because every movement is new and needs
to be processed separately).
Once we turn something into a known and familiar pattern,
the amount of processing power needed is reduced
by a huge amount.Same goes for any language. Before long you won’t
need to think of grammar points, vocab or forms.
It just starts to come naturally and you simply
“feel” if something sounds right or wrong.Try to think of learning something new as millions
of bits of new information. Our brain can’t handle it
and we feel overwhelmed.
Humans are extremly adaptable, but we have to pay
the price for it.-

これから仲良くしてくださいねニックさん。
That’s.. sad :)
Today I learned.. that I still have to learn a few more Kanji to get RTK done ;/Hurry up and hit Season 3 so you can start using Lang-8, which is actually amazing and a lot of fun.
S2 is not harder than S1, it is more fun actually!
がんばってください！Holy fugu, I decided to refresh my Kanji koohii account’s review tab by removing and re-adding all my old cards. Some cards were too far ahead in the like 7 reviews tab and wouldn’t turn up for months :P

Look how deliciously fresh this looks. So many juicy reviews just waiting for me to bite =)
AS I stalled RTK for quite a while (again) at 1600ish Kanji, I’d have to go with a fresh review 1 to 1600… I’d prolly go with a modified lazy kanji anki deck this time.
I really like Koichi’s approach and all, tho.
I like Textfugu’s approach, mostly for the Kanji vocab, but my retention with textfugu Kanji is close to 0 apparently. It feels like the radicals and their combination and stories aren’t sticking with me.
Maybe I’m really too “damaged” by having done RTK for the first 1600 Kanji?

Nice 自己紹介 you have going on there. Welcome!
In the meantime I simply took all the different Kanji Decks up to the point where I am and merged them into one single Deck.
After a few rounds of reviews everything will be neatly mixed up and really challenge me at reviews.I also did finish S2.
Now working on the Textfugu Kanji Section up to that point, because I used to be a RTK learner.
I want to take advantage of the Kanji method here, tho. Especially for the 80-20 principle and vocab.
Big congratulations to all the other S2 finishers!Nothing wrong about idling there. I already idle in my anime fansub group’s staff channel =)
I’m sorry I didn’t manage to come up with a better “old english” style, because I’m GERMAN AS F**K :D
Also, Hashi, if only you were on the EU Servers you could try to Sixpool me from time to time. I saw you were pretty good at it.
Forever bronze~ -
