Study Diary, 08/22/08

This is the first day in a long time that I’ve felt really engrossed in studying. I managed to finish reviewing sentences in a quick fashion, and so that leaves time for entering a bit of new material and some real Japanese input. Mother 3 here I come.

Days left until the JLPT: ~106

RTK:

• 82 kanji tested / 57% remembered
• 75 failed pile / 394 long term / 1026 cards total
• 50 re-circulated / 0 cards added

Study Sentences:

• 139 sentences tested / 74% remembered
• 36 failed pile / 72 long term / 273 cards total
• 33 cards added; 3 grammar points, 3 vocab lessons

Miscellaneous:

• Made a verb conjugation cheat-sheet to acclimate myself with causative, passive, and causative-passive forms of verbs.
• Made a list of my frequently-looked up grammar points so that I can begin to tell apart the various uses of ことになる、ことにする、ようになになに、and ものだ.
