    That sucks. XD

    You hadn't broken your previous record had you? I know your max combo was already something very high, and I think I remember seeing it as 9,401 before. Would really suck if you were aiming to break the five digit mark and you'd come as close as that to it.

    I'm not sure I'll ever get anywhere close to that crazy high combo of yours. With my current self-imposed daily limit of 33 practice questions, it would take me nearly 300 days! ...not that there'd be much chance of me answering so many questions without messing up. ^^;

    Yea, for the past... several months I have been doing 50 practice questions daily. If there wasn't that limit of points for each question after 30 answers I would spend more time on this site earning points. Lately the 2 sites which help me learn the most every day are memrise.com and renshuu.org and both have a pro membership choice. For the former I have tried the pro account but it wasn't worth imo. There is still renshuu.org which I haven't tried yet, if you get pro there you can do grammar tests which sounds tempting imo since my Japanese grammar is my weakness.

    I can certainly relate to that.

    The other half of the issue (besides the 29 correct answer limit for upcapped points) is that the SRS 7★ level essentially suggests you wait 128 days before you answer that question again. There aren't enough questions to go around to fill 128 days without repeats, so would need to keep to a daily limit of around 33 questions to not get through the site's 4,185 questions too quickly.

    For grammar tests though, I'd say Duolingo is the place to go for that. The app version of the EN→Japanese course isn't really good enough, but the web version works well for testing your grammar. (Just a shame it still isn't *officially* released on web yet.) Or use the JA→English course on web, which is very good.

    But I understand Duolingo is more about grammar at the sentence level, rather than a basic drill of all the different verb conjugations and whatever. I'd suggest trying Slime Forest Adventure's grammar side game modes. These are a bit like the thing you are talking about, I think. ^^

    Hmm, not a bad site. Though it is weird how you can't learn Japanese when you can input your mother language as Japanese to learn English.

    There is a proper Japanese course being made for English speakers, which started development at the beginning of this year. It released in beta phase on the Duolingo iOS and Android apps at the end of May. However, it just hasn't been released for the website yet. This is reported to be because their web software engineers are creating brand new functionality for their kana and kanji teaching parts of the course.

    Even though the EN→Japanese course is not *officially* available on web, you can actually already access it! I've been using it since April! :P

    The only parts missing on web are their special kana and kanji teaching questions. (This, in a way, is a good thing, since we already know kana and basic kanji from JCJP!) You can still do all the usual sentence translation questions. There is just a little bit of excessive repetition in the early "hiragana" lessons, since most of their questions are the special ones that are missing from web; it gets better once you get past these lessons. I've been using their EN→Japanese course on web since April, using the method I posted in this link below. ^^

    Indeed, according to them the web version is about 67% ready.
