Subject: How I study Kanji
I am currently using a book called 完全マスター漢字 日本語能力試験２級レベル to practice writing Kanji. It comes with an audio CD. The first 14 lessons have about 7 sentences each. After that, the lessons have about 2 or 3 sentences on the CD. Every day I am listening to as many as 28 sentences and writing them out. I spend up to 50 minutes on this task.
Basically, I will repeat 1/4 of the sentences for 16 days. But every 4 days, I stop doing the oldest 1/4 and start on a new 1/4. That gives me 4 days to get the new sentences perfect before I add more new sentences.
So, as an example it goes like this:
Monday~Thursday Lessons 1~4
Friday~Monday Lessons 2~5
Tuesday~Friday Lessons 3~6
Saturday~Tuesday Lessons 4~7
Wednesday~Saturday Lessons 5~8
In the example above, you can see I kept doing lesson 4 for 16 days before I finally stopped doing it. Once I finish the book, I'm going to repeat it again but at a quicker pace.
I think I'll use this method with some other material I have. After that, I'd like to use it with audiobooks.
I'm going to use this method also with Chinese once I get to that point.
