		<description><![CDATA[Maybe someone has been wondering why I haven&#8217;t written anything in a while. For any newcomers, I have been studying Japanese language, mainly my Kanji with the help of the &#8220;Remembering the Kanji&#8221; book and SRS ( Spaced Repetition Software). The simple way to explain SRS, is a piece of software that quizzes you with [...]]]></description>

* Daichi double checks his calendar.
Well, a full four weeks or 28 days. I suppose A standard month is actually 2-3 more days.
On January 19th, I decided my lowly Japanese language skills were too poor and I took it upon myself to learn more. I think the number one thing [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Recently I started studying Japanese again. To reinforce my learning experience, I have been using an almost magical method. Spaced Repetition Software. These software programs show you flashcards for you to review. By grading yourself on how well you knew the flashcard, the program will work it&#8217;s magical calculations so it knows when best to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been working on studying Japanese using some new technology called sentence mining, it&#8217;s a more natural way to expose yourself to a language, so you can learn more like a baby does. A baby doesn&#8217;t learn language by being taught grammar, rather they learn from simply being exposed to enough of the language that [...]]]></description>

I&#8217;m not really thinking of this as a 30 day Challenge, since I certainly want to go beyond 30 days. But both Glowing Face Man and Khatzumoto [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[So a few days ago I decided to make a quest to actually brush up my limited Japanese knowledge. I&#8217;ve taken two years of High school Japanese before, but that was years ago. All I remember is my kana and some basic vocab. This is going to cover my last 3 days, so I do [...]]]></description>
