What things bother you the most?

The only problem I'm having is I can't read bad writing and weird fonts. :puppydog:

Never tried to write. I'm always typing on the PC, so I'm not bothering myself with writing hiragana and katakana for now. :sweat:

That sucks. :puppydog:
Kanji is tough to learn, but even some Japaneses forget how to read and write kanji and they are submerge with them, so...

Thanks a lot tabana :woot:. This program is great! Well I write/exercise it by hand (very ugly btw.), because don't want another keyboard layer to mess up with my precious Cyrillic...

you're welcome. :victory:

they say to be able to comfortably read a newspaper in japan you need to know about 2000 kanji...

HA! i was never even close...i maybe learned about 500 or so when my game was tight....

Wow. 500 is still better than me, I know less than 20. :applaud: I never practice my kanji skills, so in a few weeks I won't remember them. :shamefulcry:

make flash cards and test yourself.....worked 4 me i learned hiragana 10 years ago and i still remember most of them

i'm self teaching myself hiragana first, off cue-cards, next is katakana characters. The only way i distinguish between the two kinds is straighter lines for katakana. Kanji is much harder cause of more strokes in the character writing.

if you're serious...and have the time...i'm not criticizing..you should take a class...at a local college or maybe uc extension...you will learn more efficiently.

i fully agree. self teaching is hard, since you hold yourself accountable, i have a japanese grammar book, and it is hard to learn this stuff on your own. sometimes i am not as motivated. A class is a bit more fast paced and you have to do your homework/test, learning is on a much higher level. And the retention level, i would say is higher in learning in a classroom versus on your own. :bonk:

when my schedule is figured out after the holidays, maybe i can squeeze in a japanese class in the spring quarter, maybe.

I'm self teaching Japanese while sleeping. :beaten:
It's a slow way to learn, but I guess it's better than nothing at all. It's weird cause it works a little, but my subconscious mind doesn't learn as fast as my conscious one.

It makes funny dreams though. :mrgreen:
