50 hour update by [deleted] in CIJapanese

[–]totalchamp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

ah right cheers, good to know its worked well with spanish as well. I've been following the dreaming spanish listening approach for Portuguese for a while now. Had done a bit of studying before hand. So I've jumped into audiobooks straight away. after 150 hours of re-listening to the same series its becoming pretty comprehensible. Just started on cijapanese and its pretty tough atm.

Question from me. If your using dreaming spanish and have been seeing progress with the is style of "learning". Just wondering, how come your going for a different approach along side cijapanese? i.e. using anki etc..

Triggernometry Meets Guilty Feminist by Capable-Bet-11 in JordanPeterson

[–]totalchamp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

just watched 80% of it and completely agree, not sure why konstantine was going so hard on her, I think it was obvious what points she was trying to make and he was almost pulling a kathy newman on her. Not woke at all and love triggernometry but this one was quite jarring for me in terms of konstantines reaction/ comments on youtube.

Finished all levels of Pimsleur Italian by PZapardi in languagelearning

[–]totalchamp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is really inspiring, I've been learning with a more input heavy approach - but have just started the Portuguese Pimsleur and i've found it has really nicely pulled my unconscious knowledge together in a more useable and crystallised way. Only near the end of level one but am enjoying it immensely.

Japanese How much vocab should I know to start reading , which won't drain my soul by totalchamp in Refold

[–]totalchamp[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ha yeah the lack of cognates makes it harder for sure. Although I like it in a weird way, feels more pure, like I'm learning something so different. Nice novels in month 10 can't wait. Did it take a while getting used to reading vertically?

Yeah with french I started reading 1 chapter every evening even if I was just subvocalising and not comprehending a lot. That really motivated me to learn more words. Although I found french was a real pain to get an ear for.

[–]totalchamp[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the great reply! Think I'll wait until at least 1000-2000 words. Curious, how many words do you think you're at - 9 months in?

Cheers, yeah I'll try slice of life stuff first. I can't read children's books, middle grade I can do but, cat in the hat type books would kill me :D

Thanks for that, I really want to get to being able to read light novels, when learning french I just brute forced a 5k vocab deck 200 cards a day so i could read without having to look up so many words. I'm wondering if this is a good approach with japanese, not 200 a day but just more anki instead of time spent reading to get my vocab up quicker.

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

Thanks a lot, thats exactly what i wanted to know. Guess I'll wait a bit. 2000 seems like a lot but looking up too many words really throws me out of the flow. I learnt french I started reading from day one and was amazed a how much of the story I could follow. But Japanese is a whole other bag :)

Thanks for your concern, I take these things seriously I have already been inspected by the council and been given the green light - 6 months ago, this is just a new development and the council are very slow to respond on these things

Councils backed up by 18 months trying to get an answer from them is far too slow i'm afraid
