I noticed that Jazzy has a habit of repeating the questions in a way that removes the fluff and ambiguity so that he could answer it properly. I think that it’s a valuable skill when taking tests that challenge your comprehension such as JLPT.

I've been really interested in the reading speed bit. I read about 800 wpm in english with full comprehension, but it doesn't really come from "speed reading" as a skill. It's more based on a comprehension and a lot of Tom Clancy books as a kid. So when we're talking about how higher comprehension and reading speed are related, I definitely think that it's a comprehension first, reading speed second thing. I feel like I have to say that because I've seen some ads about how "increasing your reading speed will also increase comprehension" and that just leads people to move their eyes really fast without absorbing anything. Reading fast isn't "moving your eyes faster" like Tim Ferris would like you to think. It's looking at a sentence and understanding the whole thing without having to individually read the words. It's pattern recognition, and that comes from in reading your native language or any other language. That and speed is definitely very fickle. The 800wpm is more like when I'm reading fiction, but if I'm reading some academic theory or something, that decreases wildly. That and it can be affected by other things like, being tired, reading on a computer screen vs paper, the font and font size, and basically anything that makes life slightly harder. And getting to the processing power part, I've been interested in that as well. I know I have quite a bit of it, from typing 100wpm to reading 800wpm to playing drums, piano, guitar, and blah blah. I think this is something that people just don't know much about. I would love to say I know whether reading music and playing instruments increased my processing power, or if I could do it because of natural processing power, but I don't know and I probably won't. Learning Japanese is fun. Been at reading for about 3 months after banging my head against Duolingo and RTK for 4 months before that. Hopefully given another few I'll be able to have a good "I learned japanese quick" story because I honestly feel on track for it. Having gone through that, I think the TLDR is. Speed reading doesn't matter. Processing power is real, but pretty unknown. Japanese fun.

He was probably talking about monolingual dictionaries on The Moe Way site's resources with Yomichan. I'll also throw out the best resource in my opinion is www.edewakaru.com/, which also has a yomichan dictionary now (though notably without the images last I checked)

This had the feel of a quintessential episode to watch on the subject of learning a language with a high level of focus. Great episode, good stuff. Ive been thinking about l reading speed and wondered if there's not a sweet spot with comprehension. The longer you take to read a sentence, the more time you have on each part. However, while reading more quickly, you need to maintain lucidity with everything in short term working memory for a lower amount of time before moving on to something fresh. I have some pretty heavy ADHD symptoms in regards to short term working memory. I think language learning has helped practice in this regard, but there was a point in time where I started reading faster and I found it easier to "keep track" of everything in my head. Not only is it easier to keep track of the single sentence, but also the context of the story you're reading. Comprehensibility is a factor, but sometimes I wonder if practicing to read more quickly is a fundamental skill in the ability to parse full sentences and follow plot points to be able to infer things from context more easily. Then again, maybe it's a balance that is best. Spend some time chewing on certain things, but also make sure to keep a good pace when you are comprehending it. Thanks for the podcast from all three of you.

Has someone know a way to count sentences/characters read with an automatic counter or reader? I want to get into LNs, but I don't like fiction. The only way I can get into it is by counting the characters/sentences automatically and recording the progress. I do this easily with VNs, but with LNs I find this quite exhausting. Tech-savvy people, any tips?

Then I can look at the data by year/month/week whatever and even filter on different activities super easily.

Please let Doth know that some people on the subreddit do know and care about Kanken; they’re aware of it and want to take it some day. You should share any knowledge you have, I wouldn’t restrict what I post based on a few average redditors lol 😂

This kind of affirms my doubts about RTK. My recognition RTK study (Matt disciple here) has never aided me in learning vocab that I'm aware of. I don't even think about whatever kanji make up a word when I learn it. I just add the word to Anki, and through immersion and reps, naturally come to recognize the kanji across different uses and glean some general meaning if there is one. If RTK does have benefits to recognition, I feel like they're negligible. I could see some familiarity with radicals and stroke order being helpful though, at the very least for dictionary lookups. Maybe for learning how to write too, I couldn't say though ;) Also, amazing results from this guy Jazzy! inspiring. Thanks KanjiEater podcast
