November Day 11
Lessons
Apprentice is 51. Next-24-hours reviews is 73. (Much nicer than yesterday’s high number.)
Nonetheless, I’ll stick with three vocabulary reviews for today.

呼ばれる |

現す |

I have enough trouble remembering 現れる’s reading, and now I’m given 現す. (Not to be confused with 表す.)
Leeches
Down to 448 leeches total.
The important number for me right now is Apprentice, and that’s sitting at 38 (up one from yesterday).
I know I’ve failed at least a couple of my leeches that I reviewed earlier this month when they came up recently, and I’m sure I’ve had some later-stage leeches fall back into Apprentice. That’s probably part of why my Apprentice leech number isn’t moving very much.
My Apprentice III count is what’s up most. If I can get that and Apprentice IV down even just a little every couple of days, they should be wiped out in little time (I hope).
Looks like some of my Guru I has made it to Guru II.
Tomorrow I have 30 leeches within 85 reviews. That’s down to only 35%!
Two third of those leeches are Apprentice. The highest leech value ones are:

Leech 仮定
Looking at this, I’m thinking かてい, and something…temporary? I fail to consider the 定 part, to think of it as a temporary determination, which is an assumption, a hypothesis.
This is another return from my Day -1 (October 31st) post.
Surprisingly (for me), even though I’ve downloaded more subtitle files since this, this remains the one and only match:
Leech 評判
This one I often think ひょうはん, but it’s of course ひょうばん.
Yet another leech back from before, from Day 1. I always forget that it means “fame, popularity, reputation”. Maybe I can remember it with some audiovisual:
Leech 防ぐ
Another day one return, another repeat screenshot:
Reading I have down. But I can’t associate the kanji with the above scene to get the meaning.
Leech 輪
I always think りん rather than わ. Problem is I think ゆびわ, and think, “わ must be when it’s paired with another kanji, so alone it must be りん.” I need to remember that since 指 is a body part, it uses the same reading as when it’s alone, so 輪 uses the same reading when paired with 指 as it does alone.
Leech 欠かす
Reading I mostly have to, but I always think “to lack” for the meaning, when it’s “to miss (doing), to fail (doing)”.
No good subtitle results for this one.
Leech 願望
This time I mistook the meaning for “stubborn”. Thus this one is back from day two, and thus I bring back the prior screenshot to re-read:
These returning leeches are not a good sign for my progress…
