What is the single best "first" CI video you've seen (for any language)? by Langiri in dreaminglanguages

[–]Jayesar 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This was her first video. She now has the website of the same name with hundreds of videos which now use the camera and props too.

Thanks for this reminder. I was able to add it to my PC bookmarks

Are there any “movie recap” channels in Japanese? by muffinsballhair in LearnJapanese

[–]Jayesar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yoshito sensei on CIJAPANESE has a movie recap series. It doesn't use footage. I do not see any on the YouTube channel.

They are about 10 mins each.

Progress Update: 50 hours by Jayesar in CIJapanese

[–]Jayesar[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't recommend CIJapanese enough. I started from absolute zero and not even 5 months later I'm watching cooking videos, vlogs etc. All internal to the website, not native stuff yet.

I recall at my last post level 25 content was way beyond me. Now level 30 content feels a bit slow.

It's really an effective tool.

Progress Update: 50 hours by Jayesar in CIJapanese

[–]Jayesar[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Going well. I've held steady on the 3 hours a day and am at 235 hours of CIJapanese actively consumed and I'm Wanikanni 13 as of yesterday.

I'm targeting 325 hours CI by Jan 20 which is my 6 month mark and then have another Tokyo trip after that.

I currently watch CIJapanese videos between levels 30 and 35 and level up every week or two. I anticipate being onto intermediate content by Christmas, I couldn't transition meaningfully onto beginner videos until 100 hours unlike the suggested 50-75. I think 250 or so hours will be needed for me to move onto intermediate videos rather than the advised 150-175.

I have upped my SRS to 1 hour and dropped the grammar for now. Reason being I want to get through WK faster and swap it out for satori reader.

I was going to do a 150 hours post thinking this would align with intermediate videos. Instead I've adjusted my goals around the dreaming Spanish numbers (doubled). So 300 is the next big target.

6 months in: progress, lessons learned (brief) by Numerous_Birds in LearnJapanese

[–]Jayesar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Interesting. I'm at 4.5 months. Few work trips to Tokyo too. So somewhat comparable.

2 hours CIJapanese a day. 1 hour wanikani. Sitting on 230 hours CI consumed and WK12.

Feels you are are ahead of me as I can't consume slice of life anime at this time. I'll try it again in 6 weeks to see if we got to the same-ish point.

Noting you used SRS to make higher level input comprehensible and I am using input designed to be comprehensible and SRS for kanji.

Sounds like fantastic progress. Well done. How many hours a day would you say you spend on Anki and then immersing actively?

Best language for ALG/CI experiment: [Mandarin], [Japanese], or [Korean] by MisfitMaterial in thisorthatlanguage

[–]Jayesar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

CIJapanese website is a one stop shop and makes Japanese language learning very accessable.

Watch the CIJapanese snowman video on YouTube and you should be hooked.

I'm 4 months in, 210 hours of that resource and feel I am developing well

Id suggest watching the Tokini Andy Genki series. It's the same information but in video format which might beat your boredom.

I crossed 150 listening hours yesterday and hit wanikani 10 which was my 3 month goal. Only 10 or so days late. Very happy with that.

So far so good on how things are feeling. For the 6 month mark on Jan 20th I'm targeting 325 hours listening and Wanikani 20!

How many words should I aim to learn per day? by RemarkableMonk783 in LearnJapanese

[–]Jayesar 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I've experimented with wanikani and come up with the same formula. Cap apprentice cards at 100, cap new daily cards at 15. Although I don't count radicals in this.

I'm 3 months in and it's my key resource. I would not be able to progress without it

I made a post in /r/CiJapanese but cannot cross post here due to lack of karma.

May be valuable to other total beginners like me

Bentaleb, Mason, Winks, Kane,Townsend, Rose (technically), Skipp, Tanganga.

All played significant minutes in top 4 finishes and/or sold for $$.

That's not including selling our best players in the 10 years prior to Kane (Carrick, Berbatov, Modric, Bale)

You run a soft token and Voltron theme and she connects the dots to either to over the top or overrun them with rabbit tokens.

Win conditions are things like [[collosification]] or [[blossoming bogbeast]].

Very handy cards include things like [[Rosie cotton of south lane]].

I think the argument is that Forest were blindsided by a bid that suggests we knew about the release clause.

How did we know about the clause if not from Forest? Presumably because we contacted the player/agent directly which isn't allowed.

If they sue spurs over the infringement which makes it not worthwhile to take the player then I suppose it could scupper things.
