/jp/ - Otaku Culture

Last winter I downloaded two RTK order kanji anki decks and started writing down every kanji I reviewed. Some stats:

Each page has about 400 kanji. The picture therefore has about 800 kanji.

Each color represents a different day I reviewed.

I have reviewed a total of 56000 kanji so far according to anki.

The longest I've reviewed was about 2.5 hours a day for 400 flashcards when I was still getting new ones. Now it's down to about 15 minutes for 40 flashcards.

I did 20 new cards a day so I can finish all the joyo kanji in about 100 days.

I didn't memorize pronunciations because that will just come with time when I encounter the vocab. I just memorize the general meaning.

Am I fluent? No. But damn it has made it much easier to learn the language now that I know how to read.
