Week #1 Update

I've completed my first week of study, and before I get to the actual numbers, I have a few observations. First, learning characters is so much more than reading the story and associating it with the character. A lot of work is involved inputting the results into Anki, and then you still need to find time to review what you've learned. Secondly, 16 characters a day is a lot. It's daunting trying to find the time to do it knowing how much effort is involved.

So, my numbers for the first week were:

Sunday - 16
Monday - 11
Tuesday - 21
Wednesday - 9
Thursday - 6
Friday - 0
Saturday - 7

This totals up to 70 characters, or approximately 10 per day. I was also not happy with the "0" day. I think I may need to adjust to 10 characters a day in order to stay on track (and extend my goal by a bit). However, before I do that I'd like to try another week at this pace.

Let's see if I can learn 16 now...

Overall progress: 178/1500. Pretty good recall.
