According to the heatmap script, I’m spending around 1.5 hours daily doing reviews (200-300), and about 1.5 hours per week doing lessons.
Lately I’ve been playing a lot of visual novels (mainly Umineko), and for some time I’ve been watching a lot of anime. I wouldn’t count these towards my language learning progress as I’ve always had English subtitles. Sometimes I’d recognize from the audio a certain word or even a whole (simple) sentence, and get pretty stoked about it, but ultimately it’s all low-effort and amounts to barely anything.
At a higher level I’d like to replay Danganronpa in Japanese. At the moment I feel it’s a bit overwhelming at level 15…
What I’d want to do right now is to incorporate the following into my schedule:
- some grammar (only read the basic grammar from Tae Kim’s guide, and I’m starting to feel I need more atm)
- maybe some kanji writing (as an aid in distinguishing&recognizing kanji)
- a respectable kaniwani practice (I feel I’m lacking A LOT right now in recognizing JP words from audio)
I feel that if I don’t start to diversify a bit I’ll soon to hit a brick wall.
