Post: Do you GO?

Thanks for your answers so far. I should have stressed my specific problem more clearly: It's not that I have problems with all words, it's those specific syllables that make trouble. For example, the...

Post: All gone, what should I do now?

I attempted to do RTK Volume 1 before going to Japan, so I wouldn't sit here learning Kanji. Didn't make it. About 1 month before my departure I made it to about 800 frames, and then stopped learning ...

You could search for a proxy, but public ones that are functioning are relatively hard to find. Also, you could try TOR. I think it worked for me when I was posting there a while back.
