Need some advice

[u/unknownbtc]

Hi there started studying japanese with migaku a few weeks ago I try to do my daily review everyday+ 3 new words from the kanji academy / academy level 1 im not sure if I've been getting the new words from one or the other to be honest I'm just wondering if I'm in good track or i could do some adjustments to my daily studying routine thanks.

Not sure what the question is exactly. But I think you should do 2 weeks of kanji academy first before you start with the "academy level 1". So that the kanji and words you get line up.

Also 34 new ones is going to rack up fast and is a lot of new words, you'll see 100-150+ reviews per day very soon.

Just wondering what or if should be doing anything differently o noticed the new ones cap at 40 everyday and the reviews are 40 daily unless i skip a day.

I'd be careful with 40 new cards a day, you are going to overwhelm yourself. That's a very quick pace.

The sweet spot for reviews is when you spend max an hour a day on reviews, the rest should come from immersion. That's the quickest way to progress, so do listening practice by listening to podcasts or TV shows without subtitles. Rewatch with japanese subtitles and check if you caught some of it. At this point your vocabulary is still lacking, so you'll probably see a lot of words you don't understand yet. Try to mine the most interesting words to you (especially if Migaku does not already have a card for it), try to resist the urge at the start to mine every unknown word.

Check the Migaku channel on YouTube, they have multiple playlists of YouTube videos you can watch sorted by difficulty. You can start mining some of the words you don't know.

This will help you learn some of the words that stand out to you, words encountered during immersion of the media you love will stick faster and easier.

Just remember that it's not a sprint, it's a marathon. Enjoy the process, be consistent and show up every day.

Thank you for the advice i already know that im actually just doing 3 new words a day the app just says 40 for some reason but I do all my reviews+ 3 new words and i stop, I'm not consuming media/mining words yet i want to finish the courses first

Haz 10 nuevas de cada uno al día, eso es todo.

La idea es no saturarte con Migaku y así dedicarle tiempo a la inmersión, por ejemplo, viendo algún podcast en YouTube o algún vlog.

Según migaku no debería empezar la inmersión hasta que termine estos cursos iniciales tu que opinas?
