WaniKani 16/60 (til end of june): If I calculated right, I have to learn 4-5 Kanji per day. I think to reach this Goal I have to learn the Kanji outside of the srs of WaniKani. Lvl 4 was No Problem, but with lvl 5 I constantly Mix Up the meanings and redings or can’t even remembering them (and the mnemonics). The time between the Reviews ist to big for me.
My books Just arrived. Does someone know an App where I can make a Photo of a Page and it then gives me the Furigana of the Kanji and maybe a translation?
Google Lens will let you select text from your camera that you can put into Jisho/Jotoba/ichi etc., or it also has an inbuilt translate option that uses google translate, though all the usual caveats about google translate apply there. It’s part of the Google app on android and apparently also iOS.
Today I definitely reached my Limit of Not deliberately learning vocabularies. I will start with Verbs and their conjugation because they are the Main topic of the textbooks at the Moment. This way I will learn words that I actually need.
I also have to learn Kanji outside of WaniKani or I won’t be able to reach my Goal of finishing Level 16 at the end of June. I’m making so many mistakes at the current Level.
I decided to not learn Grammar for the Rest of january. I will concentrate on WaniKani (Kanji), learning vocabularies (without Kanji) and listening (JapanesePod101).
Japanisch Schritt für Schritt 1: 9/25 repetition of the Grammar that I already learned with JFZ. It’s good for repetition but I Like JFZ better. I wouldn’t recommend it as the First book to use for learning Grammar.
Anki: I still don’t Like Anki, but creating my own cards and only a few at a time works better. It’s Just annoying when the number of days til the next review (of a totally new created Card) is so high (more than 2 or 3 weeks) that I have to mark it several Times as wrong. I learned some verbs and their ta- & nai-form
Japanisch Schritt für Schritt 1: 16/25 I have now repeated everything that I have already learned until JFZ 3 Chapter 3. I will now continue with JFZ 3 and do the Rest of Japanisch Schritt für Schritt at another time.
I decided to discontinue the Volkshochschulkurs.
Tomorrow Kanji From Zero 2, Suzume No tojimari and Ryu to Sobakasu no Hime (both with Furigana) will arrive.
That does seem like the literal translation of 属する。Were you trying to say ‘belongs to’ specifically, or just that your friend lives there? You can also say:
I maybe found a way to learn vocabularies. I added the Website to the First Post.
I read a few Reviews on Amazon for the textbook Series “Japanisch im Sauseschritt”. It seems that after Volume 3b (1, 2a, 2b, 3a, 3b) you still don’t even know everything of N4 and Less Grammar than after Minna No nihongo 2. I will Not continue with this Series on my own.
I’m extremely tired this week and have No strength for doing Grammar practice. Maybe I will Just read the Last few chapters of JFZ 3 on the Weekend without doing the practices and then concentrate on Renshuu, Migaku and WaniKani to learn more vocabulary.
Since I’ve started learning Japanese I haven’t done anything else in my freetime. Maybe I need a short Break. Or I should learn with less exhausting things.
Renshuu really seems to work for me. I will use it to catch up the vocabulary of Japanese from Zero 1-3. Until then I won’t continue with JFZ. Maybe I will do a repetition with Genki.
WaniKani: I forget a Lot because I don’t really need the Kanjis yet and the vocabulary of WaniKani and JFZ don’t allign with each other. I decided to stop using “advance” until I have learned all of the vocabulary of Level 4-7.
Reading: I found a book series of short Stories with volumes for certain school grades. As soon as they are available again I will order them. Grade1&2.
Migaku: At the Moment I’m doing the Grammar Course. I haven’t used it yet to create flashcards from Netflix (or Something Else).
Grammar: I will continue with “Master Japanese Conjugation”.
New goals for 2025:
knowing 2-3k words
Finishing the Migaku Grammar Course
Edit
In the next few weeks I will try to Change the time when I get the Most Reviews to the evening. At the Moment I have around 30 Reviews when I wake Up. From monday on I won’t do Reviews before Work anymore and only do some lessons.
I started reading Genki 1 and I’m still learning vocabulary with Renshuu. The decks I’m learning are the ones for Japanese from Zero and Genki. I also have added the Netflix Frequency List (~2200). I don’t learn it but it’s like jpdb where it doesn’t matter which Deck I use to learn a vocabulary card.
