Post: White People Can't Read Japanese.

Yeah, blame white people like me who can't speak proper Japanese yet, after a year and a half in Japan. In my defense though, I was naive enough to believe I would learn it in one year with an intensi...

I've been wanting to immerse myself more into Japanese for a while, but I'm having troubles with it, seeing as, for example, I don't think there's any Japanese comedy that can match to Married with Ch...

Post: Migrating from Koohii's SRS to Anki

Thank you very much, the plugin worked like charm! Well, starting from scratch would mean reviewing every single kanji, and I've just finished RTK1, so I thought it would be favorable, but yeah, I don...

Post: Migrating from Koohii's SRS to Anki

Post: Migrating from Koohii's SRS to Anki

I guess you mean I should wait for consistency's sake? Or because it'd take me too long to input the new kanjis? Does that mean I'd have to wait until the new version of the book is released? Thanks ...

Took me 3 months, but finally I'm done with RTK1, plus some extras I've picked here and there from RTK3! Somehow I feel I took really long, sometimes going up to only 10 kanjis every 2 hours, but on t...

As much as I like Heisig, and think that whoever tries to learn by rote memorization over Heisig has no idea what disservice he's doing to himself, I've wondered many times what an actual classroom le...
