Started hsk3!

This challenge stats, according to skritter:
Characters Learned: 314
Words learned: 231
Total Reviews: 7139

I'm very happy with this challenge, I relearned a LOT of vocabulary in a fairly small amount of time. (I haven't studied in about 6 years! And was dreading to accept that maybe I couldnt do it anymore, guess I was wrong! :)

Sad to see that the challange is ending! Nonetheless, I think my new studying habits might actually stick. This session I cleared my Anki and Skritter due cards, spent some extra time looking for mnemonics for specially tricky words. Might do another study lap and post a final progress report

Way to crush your goal. Challenge may be ending, but now it’s all about keeping these habits up well beyond the end of the challenge. Look forward to your final lap and final progress report!

Cleared due cards and stayed a little more time trying to memorize the harder vocabulary

60 minutes
1.0h

Finished the hsk2 list! Must return to clear my due cards before they explode. (Currently 348)

65 minutes
1.08h

Gave it an extra lap to finish hsk2 list, (which I couldn't since the vocabulary gets harder and harder to memorize). None the less, just 30 words to go :)

Just realized I completed my goal of 30 hours! 🎊

105 minutes
1.75h

Cleared my due cards at Skritter and continued with hsk2

105 minutes
1.75h

Cleared my deck, only 200 this time. Went down the hsk 2 list to almost half of it. Quite tired but still worth it

105 minutes
1.75h

Cleared my due cards and started hsk 2 !

55 minutes
0.92h

Started using the Anki app to check it out, I love the audio recording option to check your own pronunciation. Finished it up reviewing my Skritter due cards (a tidy 228, not as bad as yesterday ><) Must start HSK2 next.

110 minutes
1.83h

I finished my due cards (almost 1k) Might start hsk2 tomorrow

Finished 101 deck. Test it. Started due cards (+500) went down to 200, left the session and the list went up to 982 😱. Not complaining, but how. I . Am . Going . To . Survive . That .

Try using the new Skritter: Write Chinese app. Due item study only shows characters/words once per day unless you get them wrong and then they're due again. The queue becomes a lot more manageable over time and you can spend more time learning and testing on new stuff you're studying for the first time!

Thank you Jake ! But that was my queue in Skritter ! Hopefully it would get better. I've been relearning lots of vocabulary in it. (All of it, maybe) After a 6 years gap, I need lots of extra help to keep me motivated :)

Cleared due cards and I'm amazed that some really sticked 😅 also want to try the Heisig deck next, (probably, since seems similar to the way I like to memorize characters anyway)

120 minutes
2.0h

Finished the hsk1 deck, so I can finally try the time attack mode! Card reviews + pleco searching to help me memorize some characters.

105 minutes
1.75h

Reviewed due cards and hsk1 deck.

110 minutes
1.83h

Advanced with the hsk1 deck, checked my due cards and I think I tackle a new method so reviewing sessions won't be too exhausting :)

105 minutes
1.75h

Due cards (500😅), continued with common words deck and started hsk 1!

120 minutes
2.0h

So many things felt done today! Finished my due cards. Finished the radical's list, continued with the most common words list and reviewed so many words I finally remembered! A long study session but a good one

55 minutes
0.92h

Catch up with my due cards. Today was hard to get me to practice, so I probably need to find a better schedule and timer (Pomodoro isn't just doing it for me)

85 minutes
1.42h

"Cleared" my due cards and continued with the 101 deck. I'm starting to recall with more ease some characters and that makes it all worth it :)

110 minutes
1.83h

Finished my due cards and continued with the 101 deck, watched a couple of videos at Chinesepod and decided to add them permanently to my to my daily routine.

85 minutes
1.42h

Reviewed my due deck (again +300 cards >< ) kept learning some new vocabulary from the common radicals deck and started the Chinese 101 (one?) Watched a couple of videos at Chinese pod to finish up the pomodoro timer.

I just discovered due cards at skitter ! I had over 300 cards to review and -surprisingly- got an 84%

90 minutes

Continued with the radical list on skitter and finished stroke order. Practiced a couple of tests to check my writing and tones.

30 minutes
0.5h

Gave it an extra lap an added some flashcards' revision :)

45 minutes
0.75h

Kind of exhausted but I'm glad I started. I used the Skritter app for the first time and started learning some radicals, also reviewed stroke order videos (which is the subject I want to retake on my next session)

Hope you are enjoying the Skritter app. I think you’ll find stroke order become easier and easier the more you study. Especially with Skritter helping you along the way. Well done, and way to hit over an hour of Chinese studying today!
