Was on vacation most of the week, but I still kept up in flashcards. Didn't add any new ones, so it was nice to get the number of daily reviews down a bit.
Also had time to enjoy some relaxing reading practice.
Nice, what are you learning? I find it harder to make flashcards for vocab, since my biggest problem is declension.
Japanese. I'm still trying to just attach a general meaning to each (common) Kanji, so when I see it I think "oh, there's the character for [whatever]". It's only a start - still then have to learn actual words and pronunciations and all, but I feel like it's a step worth taking.
Each time the card comes up with the keyword, I write down the charcter. Being able to write from memory really helps me with recognition. Since I've been out with no pen or pad, I've just been tracing the characters with my finger on my other hand or leg - gotta stay flexible!
Mainly focused on those flashcards (in Kanji Kohii web app), but I also have Anki decks and cards in jpdb with vocab.
For all the tough parts of Japanese, at least I don't have to worry about declension
