Stroke order is one of those things I’ll do to improve my handwriting when it will actually matter, which is probably not going to be until you are in Japan. You can still have perfectly respectable handwriting without knowing the stroke order too.
Focus on grammar and vocab, more important to me for sure.
Read the Kanji is a great site, I should have just brute forced kanji either on there or on iKnow instead of doing Heisig’s RTK. I’m not sure if I’ll renew my subscription with them because I have iKnow until next April now, and it’s more likely I’ll renew that instead. Not too sure if there’s much point in having both iKnow and Read the Kanji at the same time, or is there?
iKnow is probably the best money I’ve spent on Japanese, or no that’s probably TextFugu since this place was definitely a good starting point as it gave me some structure.
I’m on the first step of 3k now! Had some uh personal issues that have made me feel pretty lazy and not want to do anything for the last few days but I’m okay now so jumping back into it all, I was just doing reviews for most of last week. Core 2k felt like it took ages for some reason.
That’s the Anki decks, Core2k is Core 1k & 2k combined and 6k is 3k, 4k 5k and 6k. The iKnow site does them separately in blocks of 1000 with 10 steps each with 100 words a piece.
At least that’s how I think the Anki decks work, feel free to correct me.
Finished the first 2100 words of Core now, did the first step of Core 3000 on iKnow so getting there, started at the beginning of April with that site. 6000 finished by November seems plausible!
The Core decks should in theory be like iKnow, so a sentence for every piece of vocab, I don’t use them so I can’t say for sure.
Core decks have sentences for Anki don’t they?
Took a break from studying today because it’s Evo finals day, starting Core3k tomorrow!
Anki being temperamental is one of the reasons why I signed up to iKnow, the apps for Android, iOS and desktops just work. Still gotta go back to Anki soon, I’m gonna make some custom decks to keep my verb conjugations all in check, no media needed so should be easier to keep that stuff in sync.
I imagine in the second it just puts further emphasis on the object because it’s unidentified? It’s also often used to tell someone what you think of an object, is it blue, big, old..etc
が is a slippery particle.

PS3 is region locked unfortunately, same with Blu-Ray. @_@
Taeko Kamiya is also the author of my sentence patterns book! I bet the particle one is good too, I have “All About Particles” already though.
Curb Your Enthusiasm is amazing, just wait until you get to Leon in S6!
When I did ultimate I just brute forced it and did 30 a day, kept hitting again over and over until I started remembering them. It was a drag but it did work and I think I started remembering all the ultimate vocab pretty quickly. If I look back at it though it’d probably have been better to do Core instead, I don’t know about the Anki decks of Core but on iKnow they explain the differences between transitive and intransitive verbs much clearer I thought, plus Core has example sentences on both Anki/iKnow.
