kanji quiz

[kodalai]

To continue with the previous entry's theme of academic triumph: Undoubtedly you've ehard me complaining a little (or a lot, depending on how lcosely you pay attention) about Japanese. The truth is that I've been hovering at or below the failing level since the beginning of the semester -- that is, on test and homework grades. Fortunately a great deal of the class grade is measured in things like attendance, participation, and effort, so I'm not ACTUALLY failing. Still, it's disenheartening to get back an average of 60% on most of my tests.

Well, recently one of my classmates IM'd me about this study tool that came out for the Mac, called iFlash. She'd even already entered all of this unit's kanji into them. Okay, thought I, since she's gone to all the trouble, I'll definitely do my best to study with it.

Took the kanji quiz yesterday, got it back today. 37/40.

OMFG THAT'S OVER 90%.

I cannot express how happy this makes me. I really can't. Eliza, you rock!

Congrats, Mikke! It's cool that you found something that actually helps so much.

Yes! It's a method of study which I can really get into. Trying to do it out of the book just will only do so much, and regular flash cards have just never been that much help for me. This is perfect.

Awesome. I know you've been knocking your brains out on Japanese; it's wonderful that you got a test score to match.

Eliza does rock, doesn't she?

It's immensely heartening to sort of have it proved that yes, it is possible to score higher than an 80% on something Japanese-related.

That is cooler than cool!
