    • Secrets to Smoother SRSing, Part 1: The SRS Is a Servant, Not a Master

    August 24, 2008

    This is part 1 of a multi-part series on smoother SRSing. Word! Alliteration, son! It’s in the air and the power is yours! …That was awkward. So, anyway, a lot of people have been going insane in the membrane with SRS stress. Some have even gone on to write weird introductions to blog posts (go figure, eh?)…And some people...

    Secrets to Smoother SRSing, Part 2: Fun

    August 31, 2008

    This is part 2 of a multi-part series on smoother SRSing. At the risk of repeating myself, while sentences seem central to the so-called AJATT method, and while they represent a move away from the so-called “traditional” vocabulary-and-grammar approach, I don’t see them as the so-called core per se. The actual process as I saw and implement(ed) it centered...

IN JAPANESE STUFF, 呆(you)け( egit)! It’s there. It’s all freaking there! OK, wait, I’m calm. Deep. Breath. Hippie friends who light incense. I’m calm. It’s...

    This is part 4 of a multi-part series on smoother SRSing. I know how it is, bro. You meet a sentence, you fall in love. You want to be with each other all the time. You laugh at each other’s jokes, you talk for hours, you make out for days (of reps?), you get married and have six children,...

    Secrets to Smoother SRSing, Part 5: Timeboxing

    September 22, 2008
    By

    This is part 5 of a multi-part series on smoother SRSing. I’ve mentioned timeboxing many times before; it’s just one of those things that’s so useful you want everyone to try it. Timeboxing seems to be very beneficially lopsided in that it’s super simple and super useful on the one hand, while also being difficult (although, like anything, probably...

    Secrets to Smoother SRSing, Part 6: Maintain Only the Baseline/SRS Holidays

    This is part 6 of a multi-part series on smoother SRSing. I don’t know about y’all, but…OK, first of all, I don’t even use “y’all” in actual conversation, so I don’t know why I insisted on writing it just now. Just…bear with me. I don’t know about you, but…I found memory decay to be the biggest problem for me...
