Japanese Learners Who Ignore This WILL FAIL

Your comments have inspired me to make this video on how to deal with Anki Burnout without losing your streak or your mind.

I've seen many comments from people telling me that I've inspired them to continue their studies, which is great! But the reality is that motivation is only temporary.

This video will go over ways I fight against burnout so you can keep pushing forward without stressing out!

How I learned Japanese:

🎥 Here's a list of all the gear I use to make my videos:

Wish I saw this before I burnt out months ago which lead me to quit. Might start learning again

[Ieafff]

Thanks for the content keep it up man! Excited to see your progress in your future

[CCHO]

I'm learning english with the comprehensible input aproach as I watch your channel growing

[lrks]

For me best strategy to review cards then I'm tired is to go for good + berry options for whole deck (no new cards).
This way you refresh every card in memory, but don't have to spend extra time on forgotten ones.

When learning the kanji, should i be focused learning the meaning only or also the reading. Ive been doing both but i struggle a lot learning the reading. I am thinking about just letting the reading come from sentence mining and immersion alone but idk if that will slow me down

[Ikigaijin-kgkh]

Hey Juls, I discovered your channel quite recently. I have learned Japanese years ago, but I'm starting to study more seriously because I need to get the MEXT scholarship. Do you think I should use a JLPT deck instead of the ones you recommended to learn? I downloaded one that is called "JLPT-N5-N1 Japanese Vocabulary". Do you know about it? What do you think? Thank you for your help, I hope to be able to learn really fast because of your advice.

This is why I have such a issue with craming with Anki, when you get so many cards to review every day and if you miss one day you will just get overrun by cards.

You said it should just be a complement of immersion, but how do you do that if you have to spend so much time every single day just to keep your review down?

It just a real hazzle to use Anki overall too for me, so much to set up just to even get started.

[PonzooonTheGreat]

Make sure your deck is how you like it because some of the downloadable ones are atricious. Some of the definitions are so nebulous that they give you zero idea how to use the word lmao. Impossible to remember something like that.

[Ghost_Moonz]

For me I used do anki studying kanji and all that shabang until I got burned out really quickly and found out that for me anki and that way of studying wasn’t for me it wasn’t fun it just made me feel like I was studying something for an exam and I hated it so I just decided to go full fun mode I immersed myself in like shows and video games which for me made it less likely to get burned out

[asheeshal]

Do you find words for cards your going to learn for just that day? Is that how mining works? Or can you just collect a ton and have them waiting to be learned?

[trounbyfire]

Hey so... i did a standard 20 card review. Do i just go through it one time and that's it or do i keep doing it multiple times per day?

[nguyenngocanh]

Please, Where can you get those pitch Accent for each word ??

[rambosweat]

where is the "video up here" ? :D

[shostetler]

Perhaps I'm the only individual on the planet with this issue but Anki didn't make any sense to me. Like... None. I downloaded the Android version, even paid for the monthly pro version, figured out how to download a set of hiragana cards then I opened it and was instantly stuck. I couldn't for the life of me figure out what I was to do with the thing. I tapped the first hiragana and it popped up A, then I was stuck. There is no explanation anywhere on how to use that program. Or how it's designed to be used. I understand the concept of cards, but I couldn't swipe up to the next card or tap to the next one or anything. It was dead. I know Anki is very popular, so the problem isn't with the program but in my understanding of it. Every other program out there had a way to move onto the next item being learned. Also, I tried in vain to find a list of words to download that were all in hiragana as I am just starting out and haven't gotten the katana down yet and Kanji is pretty distant at this point but I couldn't find any decks of pure hiragana words, not that it matters now as I uninstalled the app. 🤔
