Where dreams come to come true.
|
Used my iPhone in an educational manner tonight and have spent the past...three or four hours learning and retaining those memories of hiragana. I've tried for years to do that very simple task, but all I needed was an app on my telephone to teach it to me and run me through some retention techniques while filling in the blanks with some of my own and I shot what I knew up from about...8 or 9 to all 46 hiragana. YEAH. So now I can read rudimentary tweets from Rivers Cuomo (日本にいます。) and Masfumi Gotoh (そうですよね!!!). Screw all if I know what they mean without help from Google Translate, but I can read them goddammit, and you can't take that away from me! Now, I know it's not that huge of a deal, and it'll be a bit of a process from here, but I'm excited to have finally learned the basics of what I've been wanting to learn for ages. I'll have to work on retaining these for a bit, and then moving on to tackle katakana. Not looking too forward to that. MEHHHH. |

The hardest part IMO are kenji and sentence structures, once I get pass the sentence structures part I'll be able to speak Japanese... Those stuff are HARD to self teach, I have been desperately trying to do that for the past years :( Edited by kknd, Mar 18 2011, 01:25 PM.

Yeah, I'm not looking forward to grammar or kanji, but I figure whatever. Hiragana retention is going well, so that's good. I'm already remembering some katakana as well, so that may go a lot easier when I run through it. |
