Study Log of Madness

Oct. 31, '24[]:

We had our Halloween party today in the office and the highlight of it was the pets that my colleagues brought, not the kids :sweat_smile: It was also a busy day with multiple meetings that extended during the party itself, so I wasn’t able to join the program and all lmao.

  • WaniKani reviews in the morning and evening
  • Finished the first half of unlocked level 9 vocabs today :bowing_woman: - Tomorrow is a level up so there will be new lessons so far.
  • I’m also gonna put it in here that I will forget the (おもて) reading of this kanji hahaha
  • Bunpro reviews

Long weekend will start tomorrow so I hope I can do more Japanese studies on the side~

  • WaniKani reviews in the morning and evening
  • Leveled up to 10 :partying_face: It may have taken 8 days due to work but now I’m in the double-digits level :joy:
  • With that, I did 43 lessons to cover all radicals and kanjis in the morning. I remember waking up at 6:30 knowing I need to level up within the hour, but I went back to sleep and woke up at 9 lol So I had to do all the lessons while trying to keep my eyes open
  • Watched Bungo Stray Dogs EP 12-15, and still watching. That finishes the S1 and starts the S2. Spoiler alert: Honestly, I’m not a fan of seeing Oda and his kids die again. It just brings pain in my heart :skull:
  • Bunpro reviews

I just spent the day catching up on sleep and resetting my body clock. I could try to get back to Cure Dolly once again and pick up CCS reading for week #4 by tomorrow. Kids were going around the neighborhood doing trick or treat :skull:

Wow this day is good. I got all boxes checked except for grammar. :sweat_smile:

  • WaniKani reviews in the morning and evening
  • Did around 25 lessons today, however, it feels like I’m struggling for this round. Totally not because of these kanjis
Vocab Meaning
必要 Essential, Necessary
重要 Essential, Necessary
部屋 Room - I know I’m gonna confuse this with しつ
毎度 Each time
今度 This time - Which I might confuse with 今回
  • Bungo stray dogs EP16 -18 - I actually went overboard last night and I was listening to it until 2 am in the morning lol I’m listening to EP19 now but I’ll cut it off to EP 20 tonight.
  • Bunpro reviews
  • Finished week # 4 of CCS. whew! I was surprised to see the vocabs (おもて) and (かみ) and recognizing them. What’s more interesting to see was the ほんの表紙(表し) which took a couple braincells to decipher since it uses the onyomi readings lol I also recognized 風 and 自身(じしん) which I recognized from 私自身.

  • WaniKani reviews in the morning and evening
  • Did the last 20 vocabs of level 9 so I’m still on track for this week!
  • Bungo stray dogs EP21-24 - I’m just passively listening at this point but I want to go back a few years after to fully enjoy the no-sub experience
  • Bunpro reviews
  • Cure Dolly EP08b and EP09

I suppose this week I have more weekly goals ticked off which is a win. I need to adjust the Guru of radicals and kanji goals to next week since I still need to review it in 1day and some hrs.

For listening, I was able to finish both S1 and S2 of Bungo Stray Dogs and I’m quite enjoying the passive listening. For reading, I was also able to finish Week #4. I can already see some newly learned vocabs + kanji in the last set of pages I read so I feel a bit more motivated to do readings.

Also, this time I feel like I’m on track again with full speeding WK until 20s.

I finally encountered this in a lesson which helped me understand the transitive vs intransitive verbs :sob:

Verbs ending in okurigana that rhyme with ある tend to be intransitive like this. You can remember this because if something is ある, it’s just there, existing, not acting on anything else. That’s why verbs that sound like it are often intransitive too!

Yeah, then verbs ending す are usually transitive, and verbs ending える are usually partnered with an ある or す counterpart.

But I can see another potential which is Sakura’s PE class teacher :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

This week’s an improvement since I was able to finish Week #5 of CCS ABBC before the week ends and I was able to start on Week #6. The only thing was I wasn’t able to consistently watch Cure Dolly episodes and couldn’t finish vocab of Level 10 within the week.
