Have been forging ahead on Duolingo but it just got insanely hard. I was on the level Memories and The Arts 1And just got to Weather 2 and Lawbut the sentences are just too long at this point
― Gwar ina Babyon (James Redd and the Blecchs), Sunday, 5 September 2021 22:08 (two years ago) link
So probably should just stick to Clozemaster

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.

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?

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!

the person who i'm pretty sure is behind the account was posting on their facebook on the day the patreon post got put up so i think the android sensei is just being retired. bummer though, i had grown quite fond of her quirks

Do people really do Wanikani and never bother with the vocab? I just don’t see the point of that at all.

as many kanjis as i've learned i can't for the life of me read a single handwritten or "handwritten font" one
― diamonddave85 (diamonddave85), Thursday, 6 January 2022 22:31 (two years ago) link
i'm thinking of writing an anki plugin to randomly cycle the font for my cards between gothic, mincho, and handwritten
― diamonddave85 (diamonddave85), Thursday, 6 January 2022 22:32 (two years ago) link
I could sort of start to recognize most of them except the most outside one on Wanikani.
― The Door into Summerisle (James Redd and the Blecchs), Thursday, 6 January 2022 22:46 (two years ago) link
i assume knowing how to write makes reading handwriting easier, thats obviously the big thing missing from the wanikani approach
― ciderpress, Thursday, 6 January 2022 22:46 (two years ago) link
True, but writing properly is even more work. Had I but world enough and time etc.
― The Door into Summerisle (James Redd and the Blecchs), Thursday, 6 January 2022 22:48 (two years ago) link
There are plugins for Wanikani and it’s apps to cycle through fonts.
― American Fear of Scampos (Ed), Friday, 7 January 2022 05:18 (two years ago) link
Armed Banana by far the hardest font on Wanikani to recognize. Just put it back into rotation, we’ll see. Easy enough to click and see the regular font.
