Memrise 3 almost finished

I hoped I would have completed memrise 3 by now but I have about 80 words/sentences left.
I shouldn't take much longer now, maybe just tomorrow even as I tend to do more on Fridays.

Overall it feels like I kinda hit a plateau at the moment. Especially the new kanji don't seem to stick as well.
I will just keep going for now though and hopefully it will become better soon.
I'm gonna need to adjust my schedule a bit anyhow in January, so if the problem continues I can deal with it then.

Clozemaster

I found a new app again : clozemaster.
I'm not exactly far enough with Japanese to use it.
But I like trying it out anyhow. So far I see great value for it in a few months.

Meanwhile the kanji is coming along quite well. And I'm determined to finish memrise ASAP.

Memrise 2 completed

I completed memrise 2 and got a good amount of 3 done already.
Number 3 is the biggest one so it's probably gonna take a while.
I'm going to try to do it in 2 weeks though.

Halfway through the kanji

Hooray I'm halfway trough the kanji.

My learning speed for the kanji has dropped a bit but at an average of 22 per day it's still going well.
At this speed it will take me 50 more days. My speed might drop a bit more as the amount of reviews per day is also slowly going up.
It's about 150 per day now instead of always below 150, it doesn't take me longer though as I can answer the mature cards a lot quicker.
The mature card count is over 10% now, so I can say I know 220 kanji now.

Memrise to anki success

I got the anki deck fixed quite nicely. It's now Japanese with male and female audio to English.
I tried to get separate cards with kana and kanji but that didn't work well, so now it's just both kanji, kana and audio on the front side and English on the back.

I'm still learning the new cards in memrise itself, but I'm glad that I can review in anki now.

Memrise to anki

I got memrise exported to anki. But it's not in the way I want it yet. The cards are from English to Japanese and I want it the other way around.
Apparently you can only reverse the cards on the desktop version.
The cards also contain romaji which I don't want.
I would also like to split up the kana and kanji into separate cards.

Memrise on the rise

I decided to continue the memrise course and completed part 1. I also selectively did a few parts from part 2 and 3.
Like the colours, numbers, weekdays etc.

I like memrise a lot for learning new things but not really for reviewing them.
Apparently there is a extension for Chrome to import to anki.
If I can get that working that would be nice.
Meanwhile I will continue selectively working trough part 2 and 3. With on top of the list the countries.
