What does your Christmas study schedule look like/Christmas goals?

Thank you! :blush:
Clearing my reviews will probably be the easy part :joy: I’ve got 0 at the moment. I just wake up with about 200 every morning (Not just on Wanikani though I use other SRS websites as well)

Welsh seems like a really interesting language!
Hopefully you’ll be able to find some good studying materials for it when you start learning!

Yeah, for those returns I wouldn’t have done it. I go to a private language school, where the teacher teaches Japanese 6 times a week at various levels. I started November 2017 with barely any knowledge, joining a class at chapter 3 of minna.

I had a lot of time, so I was able to work ahead and join the class that was already at chapter 18 after working up to 14 on my own. After that I was again able to work on my own and catch up to a class that was working through chapter 38 at that time.

That’s where I am now, with an eye on the highest level class (which has an N1 as a student as well). They are currently early into the second chuukyuu book, so I am about 23 chapters behind them.

So for now I will go to both classes, held on Tuesday and Thursday evenings. It is a trainride away, but at 3 hours a night, well worth the trouble and euro’s (especially since I pay per 12 week season, but I can go how often I want during that period). Also a lot of outside of classtime support by the teacher and senpai.

Like, all of it? :wink:

I said I have work… by which I mean the difficult task of consuming my body weight in cheese, nuts and ham. And roast potatoes. And stuffing.

I guess I’ll also try to remember to do my reviews, but the levels of ginger wine I anticipate will be swilling around my bloodstream mean I can’t make any guarantees regarding accuracy.

WELL OBVIOUSLY
Jeez you act like it’s impossible to learn an entire language in one day or something.

Ok but seriously I just don’t have an exact goal or point I want to learn so I just want to learn something German :joy: Words, grammar, etc. Just something.

If you know a kanji while stuffed and drunk, you know you really know it.

I just watched a LangFocus video this morning explaining the differences between German and Dutch. That was fun. German is a challenging language, though! So many cases (edit, though not nearly as many as Hungarian)

Sounds like a full body workout! Stomach, mind, liver… getting all the good important, underrated muscles in there :wink:

I know, right? I’m getting exhausted just thinking about it…

To answer the OP’s question a bit more seriously, I really am considering this a holiday in every way. I’ll be keeping up with my reviews, but doing limited / no lessons (I’m gonna be chilling out at level 40 for a while anyway).

Otherwise, I’ll just be keeping up with the two book clubs I’m participating in (Aria and 時をかける少女). Nowt else!

Unless catching up on some anime counts? :thinking:

My holiday schedule looks pretty busy, but here’s what I’ve got planned:

  1. Buy stocking stuffers for all my cute newborn apprentice radicals.
  2. Send New Year’s cards to all my guru’d vocab.
  3. Invite the next level’s Kanji over for Christmas dinner so we can get to know each other better.
  4. Skype calls with all my master and enlightened items so we can keep in touch.
  5. Put together some cookie care packages so all my grown-up burned items can start off 2019 knowing they are loved. :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

I cleared out my lessons today and I won’t do any until after Wednesday. I know I won’t get to any reviews on Christmas day but hoping to do them at least once a day on the other days. Thursday will be back to normal and I should have a bunch of Kanji lessons ready for me by then.

I have two weeks off, which I plan to use to the maximum ! I’m going to keep my usual WK schedule, which is 5 lessons per day + all reviews, and also keep up all my other SRS (in all about 25 lessons per day + reviews), but most of all I’m going to deep dive into grammar, finally!

I haven’t yet have time to truly study, so first I’m going over all the Bunpro points that I don’t fully understand even if I’m able to answer the review right. Spent 2h yesterday on the のだ form, and another one on i/na adjectives and adj. suffixes. I am so excited that I can finally spend time understanding the construction of the language on a level that will allow me to start making complex sentences! I want to at least get to a point where I can make a multiple clauses sentence without having to think about it for half an hour lol. みんな、頑張ろう!

Stretch goal: Move past page 1 of 時をかける少女 :slight_smile:

And, surely, the Yotsuba Reading Club right here on the WK forums!

You guys are way too far ahead for me! Perhaps if you restart at volume 1, then of course I’ll join in the discussion, but I don’t think I’m gonna be rocketing ahead to volume 6 just yet, especially when theres so much material for me to use on studying the first two to get my reading comprehension up :slight_smile:

Little chance of that, but so long as you know that the threads are there and you can search them for any questions you might have. The best way to do that is go to the search button, click the box that says “search this topic”, and put in the page number. If your question hasn’t been answered, feel free to ask on the thread, everyone has copies of the book and in my experience the members of the club are all very kind and super helpful! (And I’m sure you’ll catch up in no time! All the best with it! Yotsuba is a wonderful series!)

Hey, I wrote a better one since then :3 wink wink

Have been making good progress on this one! Only 5 more chapters to go (when I said ‘a couple’ in reality it was like 8 chapters)

That low burner ended up being really freaking low, you guys! I have not had less that 190 reviews waiting, for almost two weeks! Maybe my stove is broken? So I will not start lessons up again until I get to 0 reviews.
