Smart.fm “upgrade”

Smart.fm version (?) is out. It’s the first time I’ve experienced a maintenance time at least. The site has been restructured/ revamped. I’m not entirely sure why there was a need for those extra options really. I thought iKnow / Dictation and the Brainspeed game was enough. Now I can’t see how far I’m lagging behind with my Dictation so easily.

Also, when I press F5 to reload the score, mastered items often only works on a second attempt.

Oh well! It’s still the best site I’ve seen when it comes to online learning.

Here’s my new score:

My new Japanese stats

That’s quite some progress! Only I think I’m still too slow. What is it with Japanese and that every word sounds the same way. The lists I’m studying “Core 2000″ are very difficult after list 1 and 2.

iKnow usually starts with Japanese -> English, which I remember way too quickly. Then when it’s time to point out the Kana, I don’t remember the Japanese word. After that, I still have trouble writing it.
