Monox D. I-Fly's Japanese and Arabic Log

[Monox D. I-Fly]

Hey everyone. I come back and take a different approach for learning Kanji. I make a Facebook page in which we learn Kanji from a viewpoint of a mathematic graduate cause I am one myself. It's all in Indonesian, though. Here is the page:

This is the first image which I uploaded there:

The Kanji for 1, 2, and 3 are similar to their Roman numeral (I, II, and III) rotated 90 degrees (一, 二 and 三).

Now that I've decided what to put in my progress bars. I started learning to memorize the Koran seriously, and memorizing the second ruku' of Al Baqarah is hard! There are 17 ayahs, and everytime I manage to memorize and ayah, I soon forgot the previous ones. Wish me luck on this.

Managed to memorize the second ruku of Al-Baqarah, and it took me two weeks to do that! And I wonder if it will even last one week. Seems like my average progress is just 1 ayah per day. If the whole Koran consists of 6,236 ayahs, does that mean that it would take me about... at least almost 12 years to memorize the whole book?

On the Kanji side, I never knew that the Kanji for "shita" (down) can be read as "orosu" or "oriru".

So, today is an Islamic new year and last night I set a target to memorize the third ruku of Al-Baqarah. I did it while ironing my clothes, memorizing 1 ayat per 1 cloth. I did it quite well, though I still really need to practice it more so that I remember the ayats' order properly.

If you're trying to memorize something like the Quran, you might be interested in https://artofmemory.com/forum. It gives tips on techniques for memorizing just about anything. Also, Japanese and Arabic is an interesting set of languages to learn. Good luck!

Thanks for the link. So, today is a national day of school-level Islamic student organization in my country. I set a target of memorizing the fourth ruku of Al-Baqarah today to celebrate it and posted it here and in my Facebook status. However, a couple of my Facebook friends called me out thinking that I was showing off my good deeds (one via PM, one directly in the comment) despite the fact that: 1) My previous statuses implied that I am doing this to help my Arabic language learning faster; and 2) There were quite many of statuses of mine which stated that I kept my Facebook as balanced as possible (between grateful and whining, I wrote both). There's even a status which I wrote multiple times and outright tells that "I am not a bad guy, but I am not a good guy either" (think about it as an anti-hero). However, I still thanked both of them because I know they meant well. I am ranting here because I'm just irritated that they ran to conclusion too fast. I guess I will go back to my usual pacing of memorizing 1 ayat per day instead of straight out trying 1 ruku in special days. It works better to me. Also, I think I won't share my progress of memorizing the Holy Koran in Facebook anymore and just keep it in my log here. Probably I will still share my progress of Japanese language learning in my Facebook status, though.

It has been a long time since I posted here but I will update it again due to the Super Challenge. At first I watched the first half of a 40-minutes JAV but damn, the actual dialogue was only at about the first 8 minutes and I couldn't concentrate well since I was impatient to get to the... more exciting part. After that I watched Hachiman episode 8 while recovering my stamina. That means today I got 8 minutes from the JAV + 24 minutes from the episode = 32 minutes. Not even 1 film yet.

Just watched the latest episode of Yu-Gi-Oh! Vrains. I preferred plot episodes like this rather than duel episode since we can learn more daily phrases in the non-duel ones.

Didn't post anything yesterday, so I'll just double post today, though my only progress yesterday was reading 3 lyrics of anime songs, which actually only count as 1 page by the rule. But still better than nothing, right?

[Monox D. I-Fly]

So, today I read 3 more anime lyrics (which counts as 1 page), watched a 24-minutes episode of One Piece in Arabic subtitle, 22-minutes of a Digimon Tri episode, 25-minutes of Cardfight!! Vanguard episode (the one based on the manga), 24-minutes of another Digimon Tri episode, 23-minutes of a Lostorage Conflated WiXoSS, and 22-minutes of the next Digimon Tri episode. So, I spent 140 minutes today just watching anime.
