はじめまして! お元気ですか?
Hello. My name is Stephanie and I just found TextFugu a few weeks ago and just now bought it. I had been trying to learn on another site, which worked well for a little while until the memorization of Kanji came up. After memorizing maybe ten or so plus the numbers 1-10, I hit a wall and after going through the first season here, this place looks much more motivating and awesome so I’m excited to try it out.
I’ve already memorized Hiragana and Katakana, though I’m a little rusty on the Katakana. Luckily the other site agreed about not using romaji so that’s good.
A little bit about myself. Hm. I’m 23 and have lived in Michigan my whole life. I’ve been interested in Japanese and Japanese culture for around 10 years now and finally got around to actually trying to learn. My reason for learning Japanese is to be able to listen to anime without subtitles and (probably better for my life in general) get a job perhaps teaching Japanese or at least opening up my career opportunities.
Hope to talk you you all more. ^^
Welcome to this nice place. I just joined a week or so ago.
I guess you came to the right place. I am currently in the middle of season 2 and こいちせんせい is doing a good job so far.
You are probably in good hands :)Welcome to TextFugu!
If you have problems with Kanji (most people do) and you would like something that is even better/funner than Anki, check out WaniKani on the dashboard (http://www.textfugu.com/dashboard/) it is a separate site, but is also ran by Koichi. It is similar in concept to Anki but has more of a game format. There are 50 levels you progress through by “mastering” radicals, Kanji, and vocab composed of Kanji. You also have to actually type in answers to get them correct rather than telling the program how you feel you went with it. The first 2 levels are free, then it’s a monthly/yearly payment plan, which is discounted for being a member of TextFugu.
This is what I am currently using for Kanji and I couldn’t imagine going back to Anki for it.
I usually don’t suggest this to new users as it can be overwhelming if someone is new to the language, but you seem like the perfect fit for it. ^_^
Check out this thread for some tips on organizing Anki 2 with the early chapters of TextFugu:
