After a weekend of not much Japanese-practicing (dedicating two days to watching football and drinking specialty bombers will do that), I am back on the horse!
I have been reading AJATT and so started a surusu account today to do the digital flashcard thing. I also like his advice about the "critical" listening level, which is an idea that you need to familiarize yourself to the language by listening to it, and this primes you for learning much quicker. You dont have to understand what is being said, but getting used to the flow and how words are broken into sentences and all that helps. That is the idea anyway. He also has an idea where you should be exposed to the language many times per day, and that continuous exposure is not necessary. He thinks that 2 min/ hour is good enough. Well, I dont know how good I'm going to be at that, considering work and all of that, but it is a nice idea and shows that repeated exposure, not overall exposure, is important. And variety, of course.
So far, my Japanese learning tools are:
erin.ne.jp
surusu.com
Pimsleur's Japanese tapes
notes from conversational Japanese
