I watched two videos recently that really changed my study routine. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IS7WzYICAsk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oBvWxCA7p5k ShareX is a wonderful tool that I had only vaguely heard of before, but underestimated it’s powers. Using it to make generating Anki cards quicker has been such a lifesaver. And LLN?! WOW. I love that I can immediately make a cardContinue reading “I’m so late to this party”

Weekly Check-in 08/10/2020
Monday again! But what a special Monday indeed, am I right FFXIV players? Patch drops tomorrow and we can’t play the game today! Woo! I did manage to study quite a bit in the past week though. Mature cards increased by 23.Young and Learn cards increased by 114. One hundred and fourteen! It’s been awhileContinue reading “Weekly Check-in 08/10/2020”
Hardcore Anki Competition
な～んちゃって！ I don’t think I would have the stamina for another language learning competition (I did something on Memrise yeeeears ago and got top 25. It was wild and I remember next to nothing!) However, it is always fun to compete against yourself. I would love to use the heatmap anki extension for this, butContinue reading “Hardcore Anki Competition”
Weekly Check-in 8/3/2020
Trying to get back to a semi-normal schedule here… Since the last time I posted (~5 days ago?):Mature cards have increased by 19 cards.Young and Learn cards have increased by 25 cards. Really happy with the amount of mature cards! Young and Learn probably seem really minimal compared to others, but I also went throughContinue reading “Weekly Check-in 8/3/2020”
Subs2Srs Shenanigans
I was looking through my external hard drive and I realized I had made some progress on quite a few different projects. When it comes to video game decks, I’m pretty….I hesitate to say lazy, because it’s never been my intention to work on them “full time” as I already have a ton of otherContinue reading “Subs2Srs Shenanigans”
I swear I didn’t fall of the face of the earth
Hello! It has been awhile. Travelling at the end of last year really messed up my study habits. Not to say that I haven’t been studying at all, but I’ve had to build up my discipline again for sure. I believe I was still just using my giant “bank” deck as my study deck asContinue reading “I swear I didn’t fall of the face of the earth”
Keeping up while traveling…
Vacationing is nice, but boy can it get in the way of studying! This particular vacation came up rather abruptly, and so far it’s been really fun. I haven’t been able to touch anki since last Thursday, though. Luckily, I only have 53 reviews to work through! I probably will not be adding anything newContinue reading “Keeping up while traveling…”
Grammar is a friend #2
I was browsing through my grammar book again today and saw an old nemesis. 兼ねる and I seem to have a hard time getting along. So today I thought I would try my best with the grammar point ～を兼ねて・～と～を兼ねて. 仲良くするように！と思いました。 Meaning and structure:～という目的ももって ～と～（の）両方の目的をもって N＋をかねて N+と N＋をかねて Example sentences I looked at:土曜はいつも朝食と昼食を兼ねて１１時ごろに食べるんだ。 英語の勉強を兼ねて、アメリカの人気テレビドラマを見ている。 ダイエットを兼ねて、バレエを習おうかと思っている。 この部屋は寝室と書斎を兼ねている。 今日はリハーサルを兼ねた生徒さんだけの日らしいのContinue reading “Grammar is a friend #2”
Grammar is a friend #1
Today’s post will be about the grammar point “～を踏まえて”. I came across this in a grammar book I like to read through. I had marked it as “haven’t learned yet”, so today I decided to fix that. As shown in the anki card above, the meaning in Japanese and English is”～を前提・根拠に／～を考慮に入れて～を土台や前提にして based on~ Seems prettyContinue reading “Grammar is a friend #1”
Weekly check-in #1
This is definitely nowhere near impressive, especially considering it was about 2 weeks or so ago when I started up again. But I do want to be able to see how I do from week to week! In a little bit, I’ll be going through my notes to start the search up again in theContinue reading “Weekly check-in #1”
