not me, but he's not wrong.

- Grammar: It largely doesn't matter what you use as long as you don't get hung up on it. I used a program called Human Japanese, and while I did enjoy it and think it did an alright job, I found DJT afterwards and realized I could have just saved my $20. I used Tae Kim from then on instead of buying the "Intermediate" Human Japnese for another $20.

Every. Day. This was the biggest thing I put time into. On days that I had big exams or was just feeling really out of it, I turned off new cards, but you have to keep in mind that every time you do that you're stuck Even when I went camping back in August, I brought a power bank with me and my phone and got up before everyone else and did my reps in the freezing cold before dawn. That was the fastest I've ever gotten them done, I think it was like 21 minutes for 300-some cards.
- I read a decent amount of manga and stuff for the first 7 or 8 months. I read all of Yotsubato, all of Azumanga Daioh, and a bunch of various others that I don't care to try and remember now. I've kinda fallen away from that recently because I've struggled to find a new manga that's both a good difficulty level for me and interesting to me, but I really should get back into it.
- I read some of Flyable Heart, didn't quite finish a route but I plan to. I don't have a whole lot of time to spend on my Windows machine, I'm normally on the go with my Antergos laptop and I don't even want to try to play VNs, let alone set up text hooking in Linux.
- Lately I've been watching anime with Japanese subtitles, I watched all of K-On in preparation for the N2, currently watching 中二病ども恋がしたい.
- I used one of the N2 読解 study books in the cornucopia for a while.
- Soon I hope to get more into ドラマ, I've only seen Samurai Gourmet but I hung out with a Japanese friend of mine earlier today and got some recommendations from him, so I'm looking forward to doing that.

Obviously, my latent lack of reading is why my reading score was so low. Be better than me. Good luck, kouhai.

I'm the guy you originally replied to, I'm working and going to college. For what it's worth, I don't think you're actually wrong on any of the things you've said, and I totally agree with you on the point you made about standards dropping because of complacency with mediocrity.
That said, I felt happy that I was able to make decent progress today and the reason you've started a flame war is because you (like >>18061853 said) wrongly assumed that I'm a NEET and have that kind of free time on my hands.

Because Otto von Bismarck or Eugene of Savoy were cute, right?

There is no need to fight.

I wish to unite all footfags under one flag.
