kanji studies progress (again)

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-seven years and one million words

Kokubunji, 2024.12.15

I'm using this tool called Wanikani to study Japanese kanji and vocabulary. Today again I managed to complete (or "burn") another seven characters and words that it had been throwing at me.

As I mentioned last week; whenever I "burn" some, I then go back into my dashboard and start lessons on new characters to keep the whole thing going. I've been at this for sixteen months and I'm still on level five but it's somewhere. I really believe it's helping with my grammar studies, overall comprehension, and to a lesser extent my ability to speak.
