>Have you friends been doing your reps, too?
Everyday for a little under an hour since I posted here and talked to our resident repGOD. It's sometimes a bit tedious, I admit, but I told myself that I'm in it for the long run. So I try to take it one step at a time.
I still don't understand much in terms of streams, but on subtitled clips I have one or the other moment where I'm thinking "hey I kinda get what this is about!" Easier tweets, I also slowly get a hang of.
>seem to forget characters immediately
I regularly have that problem when I'm using my Tango N5 deck on itself. Half the time my Kanji feel guessed, the other half I kinda cobble them together from context. I never feel like "aha, so this Kanji means that, better remember it for next time" and it really gets fucky when between morning, noon and evening, I'm suddenly supposed to learn the five Kanji word for vending machine (fuck you, 自動販売機!)
Have you ever tried something like Wanikani? I know it's subscription shit, but it really gives me the feeling that I actually learn a Kanji with it's meaning, instead of "uhh this string of abstract fucking shapes could maybe mean X?"
The radicals and little stories help me immensely to the point I'd say I need them. Other's just seem to be better at pattern recognition than I am.
I hope you can pick your reps back up and stay on the journey, friend!

I just read your pastebin. Should've maybe checked beforehand, but who would've guessed we have a repGOD ITT! Will get to the proper setups ASAP. Coincidentally, I'm off from work today, so no excuses.
I think I like your approach to learning - it also made me reflect on how I became fluent in English, which is - as you mentioned - by exposure and immersion for the largest part.
I've been using Anki already, so I got that right at least... but besides that, my sources have been a real mess so far. I dabbled with renshuu, wanikani and an actual physical textbook (which only serves as a coaster for drinks rn because it's so horrendously boring to learn with it). Maybe I should channel the focus into Anki after all.
I didn't really get how you do / did Kanji though. You wrote "by learning them in words"? Like, you just stare at the flashcard with the kanji in a word and try to remember it? No strokes, radicals whatever? It's been the biggest hang-up for me so far, so the wanikani approach seems pretty tempting, what with the systematic, modular approach and whatnot. But they might just want to coax you into a subscription after all...
Thanks though - a lot! For your stream summary as well. Shiina Ringo, huh? I thought she was talking about apples. Fml, seems like I still have a bit of a journey ahead of me...
