Past 500 in RTK! At about 525ish, still going (more or less) strong.
Sorry for the short and infrequent posts, I'm too busy learning 日本語 to talk about learning 日本語. ;)
Look up Rikaichan if you use firefox, or Rikaikun if you use chrome. Possible the most useful things, ever in this hyperbolic world.

Linkage
A trivial amount of work in a nontrivial direction always has nontrivial significance.
Here are 2 really inspirational posts I found on AJATT.com, both dealing with goals and language acquisition.

I think the critical frequency idea is very interesting, just exposing yourself to your L2 (Second Language) as many times as you can throughout the day, with the time you spend on each exposure not being as important as how often the exposure is.
Anyways, I'm up to ~425 in RTK, still going at a mostly slow but steady pace, and I have 5 various decks in Anki for vocab and sentences. I can definitely see my progress in kanji, but I keep wanting to spend time studying more vocab. For now I'll stick with mainly RTK, as tangible results are the most motivating. After RTK though (that seems like forever away to me right now...) I'll make vocabulary my ******* *****... I mean, I shall learn numerous vocabulary words and phrases so as to employ them in an eloquent manner. Eventually I hope to switch this blog (with all it's current 0 readers) over to entirely Japanese or bilingual, doing an English and a Japanese version of each post. For now, back to RTK.
