I’m almost done with the chapter and marked some sentences where I encountered a grammar point I didnt understand, I might post about them later if I still don’t understand them after taking another look
So far it’s a very enjoyable read that seems to be right at my level! So happy about it
Now I’m going to do some very shameless plugging (sorry!) since I absolutely love the way it sped up my process of looking up words and adding it to a SRS program:
On android I use an app called Moon+ Reader to read my ebooks, it’s very customizable and allows you to enter a custom url for your dictionaries. (I’m not sure if it exists for iOS?)
Combining this feature with Kitsun allows you to:
- Long press a word
- Tap the dict button
- Kitsun looks up the word in Jisho.org automatically and displays the results
- Click the button to automatically generate a flashcard from the jisho entry into your own deck.
So this takes away three very tiring parts:
- looking up words in jisho.org by copy-pasting the vocab manually
- having to manually create an srs flashcard for retaining the new vocab.
- having to trash/hibernate words from existing parsed decks (or dealing with misparses)
The setting up takes maybe a few seconds but it really, really speeds up your “workflow”. If anyone is interested in trying it out, I’ll be happy to provide some details
