Week 15: RTK1 complete!

2042 Kanjis. That was a ride, with many ups and downs. Journey to japanese fluency is far from over, but it seems a big step forward has been accomplished.

Week 14

1977 Kanjis. Burned out, week ends with no review left me with Mondays with 400+ reviews. Not a good situation to be in, yet somehow common. On the bright side, only 64 left before finishing it!

Week 12

1885 Kanjis. Keeping the daily review seems much more important than adding cards, so I averaged only ~25 new cards/day. On the plus side, it’s almost done! Also, the podcast is really fun to listen at this level. Lots of new vocab, and cultural info.

Week 9

1394 Kanjis. Still slow on the new cards per day. But being able to read the podcast’s transcripts is motivating, the Kanjis are somehow used in real conversation! 何時ですか?
