Learning without studying, from noise to understanding
I took a big plunge and feel the momentum of my Japanese progression. See, for the last several months i’ve been learning Japanese passively. Meaning, I haven’t been actively studying, speaking more than normal, practicing, listening to Japanese music or … Continue reading

Old School SRS
This isn’t really SRS-ing (which for the newbies means Spaced Repetition System). This is something I do when again, I’m idle, which happens quite a lot. I’ll have a word list of Heisig Kanji with me, and practice writing them. … Continue reading
850 Kanji! and another rant
I’ve hit a nice 850 Kanji now, and i’m finding its getting easier to learn certain Kanji. In a previous post, I mentioned “Marty McFly and Linking Images” and it is turning out to be MONEY with certain Kanji memorizations. … Continue reading

700 Kanji and thoughts on AJATT
I’ve hit 700 Kanji and right now I am starting to understand some of the tenets of the AJATT system that I have NOT been implementing consistently. First off, I can read a lot of Japanese sentences now. Sometimes I … Continue reading
600 Kanji!
I’m a little burnout this week from doing a lot of design work on my website (on top of my regular job) http://www.birdimusprime.com but I’m still trying to close out RTK1 in the next 8 weeks if I can. This … Continue reading
550 Kanji!
As I said from the 500 Kanji post. I’m going to make a note of every 50,100 and 500 mark I hit. This will keep me feeling good about smaller goals and less worried about the big numbers. 1,000 Kanji … Continue reading
