Is Jalup Intermediate Too Hard?

Japanese Level Up By: Adam | April 4, 2019

Jalup Intermediate frees you from your English shackles and gives you a nonstop dose of Japanese. But doing so is no easy task, and one of the longest running complaints I get here is that Jalup Intermediate is too damn hard. “I don’t understand anything.” “As I go through the cards I understand less and less.” “My lack of comprehension snowballs me into frustration and … Continue reading →

How Many Reviews till Fluency?

Japanese Level Up By: Adam | March 7, 2019

People like to choose a number of flash cards they have to learn in order to become fluent. X blocks of knowledge until you ascend past other mortals. 10,000 has been a popular choice for a long time. It’s a great looking number. It’s not too little; it’s not too much. It is reminiscent of the massively popular “10,000 hours” that gained steam a decade … Continue reading →

Are you Setting a Dangerous Daily Flash Card Goal?

Japanese Level Up By: Adam | December 7, 2018

Choosing an amount of new flash cards to learn daily looks like a simple task. You start off with the total number you want to complete from a deck or decks.  You decide when you want to finish it by. You divide one by the other, and you get your daily goal count. In the Jalup app, I even provide you an automated tool to … Continue reading →

Why you Must Move Past Cards you don’t Understand

Japanese Level Up By: Adam | November 29, 2018

Learning Japanese creates perfectionists out of us all. In part it’s caused by the enjoyment you first have as a beginner. Your early Japanese cards are easy. You understand them, and proceed to the next one without hesitation. What you learn builds off your previous knowledge, in a way that feels good and logical. One day things change. At first you spend more time on … Continue reading →

Should you ask What a J-J Sentence Means in English?

Japanese Level Up By: Adam | July 28, 2018

When you are wading through nothing but Japanese, feeling lost for an extended period of time is the norm. When you get caught up on sentences that are confusing, and then try to proceed, an unsettling feeling can take root. “I just need to know what this sentence means! Then I’ll be right back into Japanese only.” You ask someone for help. Since the people … Continue reading →

The Anki Snooze Button

Japanese Level Up By: Adam | July 18, 2018

Have you managed to fit in every 2-minute block you can find in a day to do some Anki reviews? As if that wasn’t enough, there is one other time to squeeze in which you may not have considered yet. And it may be the most powerful time of all: the moment when your alarm clock goes off and you wake up.  A lot of people … Continue reading →

Should you Reset your Deck and Start from Scratch?

Japanese Level Up By: Adam | June 19, 2018

While we all have a perfect vision of how we are going to progress through a flash card deck, things have a way of not working out as planned. You get busy for a few days. You get sick. You have a streak of low motivation. Your card reviews build, and build, and build. The larger they grow, the less you want to do them, … Continue reading →

Updating Anki Decks Without Losing your Progress

Japanese Level Up By: Adam | March 29, 2018

Anki reviews are a strange thing. You may not look forward to doing them, but once you get them done, you want that progress saved, forever. When I originally studied with Anki I always thought to myself “what would happen if I lost all my progress?!” That would be the end of the world. Lately on Jalup I’ve offered various up dates (audio and revised content) … Continue reading →
