I’m back to it today after a (mostly) week off. All I did was old flashcards.
Starting an interstitial review plan before starting my JLPT N2 prep in earnest at the end of the month. Was a little concerned at first because my analysis suggested some foundational issues (particles and sentence parsing mostly), but today’s session went really well. I think I’m showing good instincts.
Most interesting thing from today: I’m noticing impatience when starting comprehension in my head. You know how Japanese to English interpreters always take quite a while to start speaking? I really do need to build that memory-holding skill of topic, main verb first, be patient with it. My comprehension will get better and more efficient when I do.
It’s really cool to have gone from piecemeal vocab and grammar parsing, conjugations and particles and all that, to starting to see this bigger picture stuff.
