掲示板 Forums - Share your progress!

Learned hiragana and katakana in a week with a book. Redid them all on here this morning. The basic questions. This. That. Been doing Bunpro. SRS helps a LOT. Paid for life here and all my stuff got wipe so, can't share my progress. Even hat to reset my password. No replies.

A site like this with so much kanji focus is good but you may want to consider adding a solid grammer SRS like bunpro also. It crashed my right through a great portion of genki and tae kim.

But honestly, don't care about other people's progress. That's my best advice. I'm learning for business so I spent 4 hours a day and a whole day a week on it. Some people have all week to spare.

Once you catch on and remember the kana by heart then the basic grammar items like particles and adjectives, it picks up.

Migaku for watching Netflix and youtube helps.

A good book to aid you also does.

Read reddit or elsewhere. The ones that progress the fastest have multiple sources and most practice writing the characters/words. kana will be forgotten easily when not used especially if not drilled a little just like any script.

Good luck.

Specifically, it was 233 items on here today but including redoing kana and even failed 7 katakana due to not using them. Gotta make them stick.

Hello, @マットlearns , and congratulations! For your Japanese progress as much as for your attitude to learning. It took me a lot of re-training bad habits to get to that point where I can be glad for what I've done so far and not stress over how much I still don't know or am getting wrong. My Japanese is spotty, I'm still terrible at output, but it's moving forward and I love it. It's exactly as you say – we're behind many and ahead of many.

I remember reading that we tend to overestimate what we can do in a day, but underestimate what we can do in a year. Well, here we are! 頑張って to everyone.

That is solid progress! Keep it up! The journey of a thousand miles begin with one single step

I'm about four months into using Renshuu. Feel like the progress looks worse since I did all of my Kana practice on paper and on other Kana apps, so they're both just zero. 😅

I'm excited to hopefully finish up Basics soon so I can start N5!

Mine look like this, although I'm not sure why N1 Kanji says 100% when I've only studied 1/3

Anyway, my goal is to finish 常用漢字(じょうようかんじ)​ by the end of the year. After that I'll pick up from whichever 級 of 漢字検定(かんじけんてい)​ makes sense.
