Holy shit I'm so retarded I can't even remember few kana characters :pepeHang:

I think I'm starting to remember them by their key presses, not sounds :pepeDread:

hmmm, there does actually seem a system to this

This is difficult. I hope I don't forget hiragana now.

It's worse than hiragana

I think I got kana down. Now just continuous training so I don't read at the speed of a retarded 1st grader.
And now the fun part begins, grammar, kanji and vocab :Aware:

I got addicted to InfraSpace instead gg.
At least it's a fairly short game, first playthrough took me only 24h.

Woman is 女 and read as おんな
Child is 子 and read as こ
Girl is 女の子 and read as おんなのこ
That makes sense.

Guess how 女子, female is read? That's right, じょし

Honestly I have no clue how you are even supposed to remember this

@matrix it's not hard at all, just learn them one by one. then when you actually need to write a character you'll remember 'oh right, this is just human plus melancholy' and it pretty much writes itself.

@lain Since I'm crippled, I'm not learning the strokes, because I would be going at max speed at about 0.5 kanji per day.
But yep, once you learn enough you will start seeing the similarities.

@matrix are you doing wanikani or KD? or just rawdogging?

@lain basically yeah, I'm learning words with kanji, not kanji by themselves.
I'm using sottaku.app for the flashcards since it has nicely organized presets. Once I get grade 1 kanji down, maybe N5 if grade 1 isn't enough, I'm gonna do just reading and sentence mining. I never did contextless memorizing in anything.

@matrix you do you but i don't think 'words with kanji' works. if you have 30 mins a day rather do KanjiDamage or wanikani and you'll know 2000 kanji in a year.

@lain Why do you think so? Basically my reasoning is: since pronunciation of words has barely any correlation with kanji and the meanings of radicals don't give much hints towards meaning of the kanji either, there isn't much reason to learn them (and radicals) first instead of learning them naturally through noticing pattern in learned words or looking them up when reading.
(also words with grade 1 kanji are mostly just the lone kanji anyway)
