Just finished Section 1 of TextFugu. I spent about 30 hours. Was that too fast? I love this approach to learning. Sure beats Rosetta, which I tried a few years ago and gave up after a couple weeks. I’m also part-hawaiian and studied that at the local university (as a foreign language requirement). So I’ve had some previous language learning. As a curious and rascal child I did spend some time with by grandmother (a nisei) where I learned such words as “abunai, bakatare, bachi” etc. She was the sweetest lady I’ve ever known. We still maintain some connection to her lifestyle by practicing some of the teachings of Kobo Daishi. We finally made the decision to take a trip to Japan in March 2016, so I’m glad I found TextFugu and hope to be able to have some “immersive” language learning there. Hope I’ll be able to read food menus by that time too, cause I’m thinking FOOD!
