Kanji done

I'm finally done with my kanji. Well not truly done of course as I will need quite some time to repeat everything.
But yeay it feels good to have been through all the 2200 kanji.

I will use the again button quite a lot the coming weeks to let everything sink in my brain properly.
The time spent on repeating it will be a lot less then learning them for the first time, so I should have some extra time to focus on the vocabulary.

Happy new year

I'm a bit late already but I didn't get the chance to do it earlier.

My biggest goal this year is to practice my Japanese every single day, even if it's just 5 minutes.
I missed only a few days days in total in the past few months so I'm already quite well but I want to make 2018 even better.

The past few weeks I have only used anki, hopefully I can get back into the habit of using the other apps as well.
I'm almost done with the kanji deck so the workload will go down for anki.

I will write my update on the kanji soon.

More than 3/4 of kanji done

I didn't realise I passed the 3/4 mark a few days ago.
The forecast says I have 24 days left. I kind of hoped that I would be able to finish it before new year.
But unless I manage to break through my mental block I can't go faster as I already have issues with the new kanji sticking.
The older ones are pretty solid by now though, so that's nice.
The first 1/4 is already pushed a few months in the future.

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.
