Hello my friend we meet agian,
Its been awhile where should we begin?
Man, I havnt listened to that in ages. Just wanted to whip up a quick update for references sake. Ive been having an AWESOME couple days on the japanese. The 10k sentences that is the goal of all AJATTers has been staring me down for the last 2 months. I kinda did a little bit of calculating and I realized that If I had kept a decent sentence input rate of 20 reps per day (probably a little more than an hours work) I would have around 1k sentences under my belt. As we speak I have a pathetic 83 sentences in Mnemosyne. Pretty poor right?
My immersion has been pretty good, My music, TV and movies are all japanese. The movies bit it kinda tough because I dont have many good japanese movies or any good dubbs for that matter. The horror movies at my videostore and *cringe* anime have been keeping me afloat. I think im gonna have to amazon up some materials. My funds are pretty shabby atm though…
The last couple days though… wicked immersion. Yesterday I plugged in 30 sentences in about an hour and a half and the day before that I had a dream in japanese after consuming about 4-5 hours of *cringe* anime during the day.
Its now about 3pm, Ive got all my reps done and some drama cranking. I have some uni stuff that I have to do at some point but Im expecting another serious sentence session soon.
The best part of this is I know if I can get most of my days like this I’m gonna make it. I can truely get a glimpse of that light at the end of the tunnel from where I’m standing right now.
Its a good feeling.
Goals:
from now: an hour or 1.5 hours per day via Now Habbit for Sentance mining. I’m gonna grow from the “failure” that has been the last couple months.
Starting from july 2nd: RTK3
sometime between Aug-September: Take a month to understand the news (I’m gonna play this by ear a bit, If im really not ready for this step I will wait. If I have a shot I will take it.)
MTAM out
