Kanji Progress Report

Tue Jun 28 2011
As of yesterday, I'm at a little overĀ  1,300 kanji. I'm at the part that sucks, the part where there's still hundreds left, and it seems like it's taking forever. It's taking a bit longer than I initially planned because of recent time constraints. No matter, I press on. 1,800 is my current goal, and once I reach that I feel it will be finished sooner than even I think possible. Currently I'm hitting about 200 reviews a day, with between 20 and 30 new kanji a day (unless time is really short - then it's like 5). Cool thing is I'm at the point where I can look at a web page in Japanese and recognize most of the symbols, or at least parts of them. I still can't always make out words or sentences, but I can sometimes at least get a very basic idea of what's written.
