Still at it

1000s-II

Day 72

Slowed down to a crawl, but still going on. Number of days: 72. Number of sentences: 481 in first batch and 364 in the second, running total: 845. Average: 11.7 sentences per day.

Slow 1000 sentences progress

1000s-II

Day 17

Simple math: 17 days, 252 sentences. This almost exactly one fourth of the thousand sentences goal. This is about 15 sentences per day, which is lower than the planned 20. The number of daily review cards is still about 200, which is about the maximum that I can manage at the moment. At this rate is seems it'll take 51 day from now.

It seems that studying the new sentences takes a lot of time. Currently I'm looking up the unknown words and entering them into the card. Maybe I should try skipping the entering step and see how much time it saves? Does not look like I can skip the looking up in the dictionary part since I often cannot even deduce the borders between the words when there's a sentence with several unknown words.

The second 1000 sentences spurt is on!

RTH1

Day 91

About three months of RTH studies. Time well spent! The only problem is that I still have a significant amount of daily reviews to do. The number of reps fluctuates about 200 per day. Some of those are simplified characters that I started to learn (rather lazily) lately. Some of those are the sentences that I did on my first attempt at learning sentences. Still the number is too high and it seems to decrease very slowly.

Nevertheless...

1000s-II

Day 1

I cannot wait any longer, so I'm starting the second 1000-sentences sprint. Well, probably not a sprint, since I've still got too much reviews, so I'll do this one slower. At the beginning I'll do 20 new sentences per day. And maybe learn 5 more new cards, such as simplified characters or maybe something else. At least that's what I did today: 20 sentences + 5 Simp->Trad mappings.

...confusion

...I seem to confuse 圍(1222, to surround) and 團(1471, Troupe)... Need to invent a special story to separate the two.

1500 characters, but...

RTH1

Day 69

Finished learning the new characters a couple of days ago, but with the amount of daily reps (more than 300) it's a bit difficult to say it's done. So, I'll wait for several days to get the number of cards per day at least under 100 and only then I'll consider the RTH1 finished.

Finally cleared the pile of reviews

RTH1

Day 37

So, finally cleared all the missed reviews and restarted learning the new characters. Currently approaching the 1000 character mark.

Fighting the backlog

RTH1

Day 28

On character 713. Yeah, not much progress. Between all these New Year celebrations, the work and the new Android cellphone I got, there was not much time left for doing the reps. Amazing, how fast the cards pile up in your SRS, several days ago I had about 550 cards to review. Slowly I'm fighting this pile and it's already below 300. Pretty soon the level should be back to bearable and I'll restart learning new characters.
