日本語は話せます 🇯🇵

This related word gets mixed in too:
仲良く

Just mixed up these two
専
寺

Sound is back on Tsurukame.

Thing that I am starting to get straight:
The short and long pronunciation of the first kanji here:
世界
世紀
世辞

Thing that still gives me grief:
All the different nuances of meaning as well as whether to rendaku or not for words that start with
大

I thought I was getting a feel for when to rendaku until I came to 早口, my brain really thinks this should be guchi dammit

Yeah, I know exactly what you mean.

Wikipedia article quite good: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rendaku#Examples

Sorry, linked in the middle instead of the top.

Both readings are correct for 早口, and you certainly hear both said. There’s a lot of regional and personal variation in rendaku in any case.

Ah, yeah, so they are, thanks. Me, I can never quite remember the meaning of this one:
早速

Basically stuff that means something like recently, soon, nearby, just now right away etc. always gets jumbled up in my head.

Right now my recent rendaku issues center on a particular kanji that is already voiced
材
vs a lookalike with similar pronunciation that does have a rendaku and non-rendaku version
財

Anyway I feel kind of good that I aware of and know how to type the special rendaku kana ぢ and づ as in 鼻血(はなぢ) . Can’t think of a word for the other one, actually.

早まって喜ぶな。

^From Clozemaster, which I highly recommend.

Have been forging ahead on Duolingo but it just got insanely hard.

I was on the level
Memories and The Arts 1
And just got to
Weather 2 and Law
but the sentences are just too long at this point

So probably should just stick to Clozemaster

These three, but getting close:
神
禅
福

I thought I was getting a feel for when to rendaku until I came to 早口, my brain really thinks this should be guchi dammit

These two:
温
湯

村
材

I finally came up with a system to get it thru my thick skull lol
会社 kaisha - begins with a k sound, company
社会 shakai - begins with an s sound, society

That’s pretty good actually. I have something like that for another, hopefully will post soon.

Sitting here at level 20 going on 21 with a thousand reviews.

A thousand years I’ve been imprisoned in this bottle studying wanikani!

The Wanikani guys really like The Dictionary of Japanese Grammar, all three volumes, but I don’t know if I can buy too many physical volumes these days and the ebook seems suspect.

Sometimes a pair like this can confuse me:
時期
期待

So I just started to dip into Japanese in anticipation of a trip (that is now very likely postponed) and because it intersting and came across "80/20 Japanese" which to my very novice eyes seems pretty good? anyone else have experience with this?

Not me, sorry.

i found this particularly (ha ha) helpful: https://8020japanese.com/japanese-sentence-structure/

if you can get past the voice and creepiness, the first couple of videos here finally made japanese sentence structure click for me: hxxps://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLg9uYxuZf8x_A-vcqqyOFZu06WlhnypWj

particularly the insight that every japanese sentence has a subject marked with が, whether explicit or implied by the context

急行列車

私はあれを知らない

会議
議会
but this pair seems a little easier, famous last words

せっかくの苦労もあだになった。

Getting used to the terminal の

齢
Has a slightly different stylization that was throwing me off

I have…a very big backlog of Wanikani reviews.

These two
域
識

Don’t look that similar but they also rhyme.

I splurged for Kodansha learners pack bundle of apps and it does seem kind of useful.

weird that a bunch of radicals I got today only appear in exactly one kanji.

Oh but then those kanji may have multiple vocabulary words

These:
案
委

i learned this word today 「お尻」

it's always a fun moment when you get to learn a word that has been adopted into English from Japanese and see what the kanji that make it up are - drawing letter = emoji, of course it's a letter that's also a drawing!

seems like the person behind Cure Dolly has died, RIP
