Hi everyone!~ I started wanikani ~2-3 months ago, and I’ve been really appreciating not having to make flashcards for all of the vocab and words I’m learning! BUT, I am a person that LOVES taking notes, making lists, writing things down, etc. I have been trying to figure out how to incorporate some…

[image] Squat Review Challenge WaniKani Are you a couch potato who wants to get into better shape? Or maybe someone who’s already fit but always looking for more ways to improve their health? Or do you want to hang out like a true yankee outside a conbini? T…

Kind of tongue in cheek, but I watch study videos (Cure Dolly et al) while walking on my treadmill! To actually answer your question - I have a collection of physical books - grammar dictionaries, manga, textbooks, J-J dictionaries, E-J dictionaries etc that act as study tools and motivation. I al…

Listen it works well and I just forget to update :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

I’m taking university classes, so handwritten notes are a bit of a must. We take handwritten kanji tests which makes the physical notes I take really important. I have a few half-size Kokuyo Campus grid notebooks (the 5mm ones from Daiso) and I fill the pages with kanji repetition as well as common …

Oh! Nice question :laughing: I have the same thing. What I do is I always write my lesson vocabulary down in a notebook. My pages are separated in two columns and I just bullet down the vocabulary in kanji w its definition on each line in a list. For Kanji, each level I stick a new sticky note on my…

Sure, the digital age is great and all, and the supporting research is exhaustive, but ultimately, the best study methods are the ones that motivate you and you enjoy doing. Personally, I am moving away from reading/meaning/transla…

I like adding in physical study aids where I can. Not only does it cut down on eye strain, it stops me from picking up my phone and “accidentally” opening a game instead of my lessons. :sweat_smile: My rule of thumb has been to keep similar types of information/study together. If I have a digital t…

[image] Chocobits: The act of writing it out also helps a tiny bit, although I’m aware research doesn’t support output as a memorization aid. It doesn’t? Dang, that surprises me. I definitely remember things better after writing them out instead of screenshotting or typing them.

[image] quilltips: It doesn’t? Dang, that surprises me. I definitely remember things better after writing them out instead of screenshotting or typing them. Well, one thing you may find in your studies is that the research and what works for you individually can be at odds. I think writing do…

I practice writing the kanji that I learn. When I level up I usually try and learn all new Kanji in one go. Within the first few days of learning a whole batch of kanji I will sit down and go through them one by one, writing them down 3 or 4 times while I say them out loud I also really try and thi…

Sorry couldn’t resist. That immediately popped into my head when I read physical.

Have nothing reasonable to add to the original question, sorry. I don’t write except for some rare occasions in grammar workbooks.
