So I've been getting ready to start RtK. It's quite exciting. In conjunction with that I'm doing some AJATT immersion. Since I know Hiragana/Katakana/like 100 Kanjis/basic grammars from what I learned in my homestay in Japan, I can understand a few things, so while I'm still lost a lot of the time, it's kind of fun switching all my websites to 日本語 and whatnot.
However, I came across a problem that I'm not sure is a problem or not, so I need you guys who have done RtK to tell me.
Those Kanjis that are really, really scrunched up. Are they legitimately readable, or do all of you just increase the font size of your PC to read them?
Some of them literally look like blurs on the screen.
Let's look at "日本語". Sure, the "go" part looks slightly complex and if you didn't know it, sure it would look like a mess, but using Heisig's primitives method I can distinguish the parts of the character and I recognize it in context.
However, sometimes I see really really really crazy ones that are just so small and scrunched up that I have no idea what I'm looking at, and I can't even break it up because they look fudged up.
IS it just because I don't know the words/context and should just start doing the RtK book and shut up, or is it because Japanese people have magical reading abilities / set their browsers to 200% font size?
