いまひらがなかカタカナハわかります！
(ima hiragana ka katakana wa wakarimasu!) Did I spell that right, or did it make sense at all? What I tried to say anyhow is that I now understand hiragana and katakana! Or, at least I finished the book. I'll try the link Yukamina gave me, then tomorrow after work unless I'm dead tired I'll embark on my Remembering the Kanji journey. Hopefully it's not long until Assimil Japanese arrives either, I'm looking forward to getting started with that. I'm feeling some progress here. ^^ Edit: I'm getting multiple trojan alerts by the game file, from LRNJ.com, I think I'll postpone that game for a while.

→ いまひらがなとカタカナがわかります is how I would write it. Or..maybe.. さいきんひらがなとカタカナをならった。
Just a couple of example sentences. 1 person has voted this message useful | |

I've been drilling some kana now, and I'm getting more confident in reading. At least in hiragana, that one's moving quite fast now. I've been using this site I found for flash quizzes, and it also comes with a handy flashcard program. Katakana is naturally slower, but I'll catch up on that as well.
I tried a lesson listed on the page, Japanese Lesson 1, which gives you sentences in kana and gives you five different choices on what it means. My reading is doing better, but I still have issues with the voiced marks like て -> で. Mainly, what symbols become what when they get the voiced mark. It'll come, I suppose. This week will be a very busy one with work Monday through Saturday, I'll try to do some Remembering the Kanji before every work day though. We'll see how that works out. Assimil still hasn't arrived, impatience! 1 person has voted this message useful | |

Not much time today, dead tired after work and have to go to bed now to go earlier to work tomorrow. I will try to get some RTK done before I leave for work. I'm also taking the book with me, I'm working extra at a store where there's basically no customers so I might get time for some kanji.
Reviewed my katakana on the site I linked to in the last post, and I got 95% right (99/104). Score was 4716 out of 5200, so I think I did pretty good (time also counts). It's getting somewhere. (edit: just did hiragana as well, 104/104 with 5179/5200 score) Watched Moses's new video about Japanese grammar, and although I haven't come far enough in my learning process to profit a lot from it, I did pick up some things I reckon. Also I was a bit happy to notice I understood the content of the second sentence (not the exact wording) before he translated it. Woo! After this week I'll have a lot more time and energy for studying, unless I get the swine flu of course (I probably will >.<).

Just wanted to say that your progress is inspiring me to keep studying Japanese.
I just recently started, and at times it feels like I am making very little progress, and it's frustrating. Anyway, good luck. 1 person has voted this message useful | |

That's great! ^^ What I've found very encouraging is this log, particularily when I write things I don't understand, and then look back on it and realise how much I really have learned. For instance, I wrote that I couldn't understand the logic behind "so desu ne" on one of the first pages, but now that's crystal clear to me. That helps!
I managed to do some kanji yesterday while at work, and I got to number 39. I was a little puzzled with the first ones seeing as Heisig seemed to expect that I knew the kanji for 1-10 and he simply didn't give me any stories or pieces there. Reviewed before going to bed last night and I got 75% right. I'm satisfied with that, seeing as most of them was the number kanjis. Originally I had written in the goals in the first post that I would finish Remembering the Kanji by 2009. I've now changed that to "finish before I move to England on September 22." When I move, there will be a lot of change in my daily structure and keeping up with Kanji studying then might be difficult at first and I fear I might fall out of it. If I do around 50 every day when I work, and 100 every day when I don't, I'll finish in good time before September even begins. I'll make that my main plan, and it gives me enough extra time after in case I mess up or catch the swine flu or something. 1 person has voted this message useful | |

Yea, I just started Remembering the Kanji yesterday, and I have 70 kanji pretty well set to memory. If you are not already using it I HIGHLY recommend, http://kanji.koohii.com/main.php.
It is an SRS and study system built around RTK, and it's study section has been a helpful asset for getting stories for Kanji that I didn't instantly recognize. Edited by Caturdayz on 01 August 2009 at 5:21am 1 person has voted this message useful |
