Finally reached the elusive milestone of zero sentence to review!
After a year-long pause, I resumed last september with 13K sentences to review. It was around February that I really started to target review sentences while continuing to do 50 new sentences a day to keep the progress going as the many review sentences felt too easy by the time I came back to CM.
I took the advice of setting difficult clozes, i.e., those I can’t think of, at 0% which made it tougher to reduce the number of reivews as there are some very persistent ones for me that I keep having to do over and over. That kept this milestone more elusive, but as many have pointed out on this forum, the goal is to learn a language and everything else (zero review milestone, leaderboards etc) is just tools and guidelines to keep me on track.
I don’t know how long I can keep up with the review loads, but I am so excited to be able to focus more on new sentences. I am about half way through new FT (level 6) and about 30% into legacy FT. I plan to progress more on the legacy FFT before continuing the new FFT, and I can’t decide whether I want to mix in the MC collection. (I stopped at about half way through 2000 MC collection because it was taking too long)
I also started incorporating Cloze-reading, and that’s been fun.
I can’t remember what made me drop CM for a year, but I really hope to keep it going and maybe I will even finish both FFT collections. The forum has been so helpful along the way, and I appreciate all the responses to my questions.
