Post: The "I just finished RTK1, please congratulate me"...

2042... I thought I'd never make it. I know it's only a small step in my studies, but dear Lord, I'm so happy to have finally finished it. I think I'll celebrate with something small. :P Then onward...

Post: Ritalin

While I'm not against possible use of a stimulant as a study aid, Ritalin is both a very powerful drug and has great potential for abuse, dependence and long-term health problems. It's also a controll...

Oh, sweet petunias on a rainy day... You've just stumbled upon what must be one of the most frustrating things for someone learning Japanese: the "wa/ga" predicament. I wish I could give you a good a...

Post: Explanation of noun types?

The only thing that I can recall that was special about nouns is that question nouns ("who", "what", "where") can't be marked with は.

So, being a fan of webcomics, I've been trying to see how the Japanese do with the concept. My conclusion on what I've seen and experienced so far is that Japanese webcomics can go to :: ahem :: the ...

I'm still a beginner at Japanese myself, but from the few hits on Google I've glanced at with that phrase, it seems that it sounds weird to Japanese ears, or at least uncommon. It doesn't quite have ...

While it's only minor, I find it annoying that neither of these sites had an option to add a search to the Firefox search bar, so I did some searching and found these. Open up your text editor, and co...

Post: Mr. T vs Chuck Norris - who do you use?

Mr. T. Although I don't remember watching A-team, and I haven't seen much of Mr. T besides, he stands out so much for me that I still find it easy to remember which kanji he's in.

If you use gedit, you can open it manually and select the encoding ISO-2022-JP, it should show it. A script someone showed me: Code: for i in *.txt; do f=$(basename $i); iconv -f ISO-2022-JP...

The game is incredible, and I love the music, but aside from (*SPOILER POTENTIAL*) the end sequence which I thought was quite brilliantly done, the story was... nonsensical, to say the least. Even if ...

Post: Anki being claimed as another company's product?

As far as I know, that's an older product. I'm not sure if the current Anki took it's name from that one or if it's just a coincidence, but as far as I know they're two separate things.

It shows only one drop for me on this site, and the Japanese site I use to check stroke order shows it with only one drop as well.

Post: Please help, I'm confused on starting RTK book 1.

I think it means that every time you learn a new kanji (in the order Heisig presents it), you should write it down once. Pre-built decks in Anki and this site are still fine to use.
