Hey!
Just a simple question. I’ve been studying the Kanji (http://www.textfugu.com/kanji/) in textfugu, and somewhere starting from Kanji 7-2 quite a lot of the Kanji pages start to get messy. There’s no audio, layout changes, no explanations anymore. Is this a work in progress, or will this stay that way? for example:
http://www.textfugu.com/kanji/%E6%B1%BA/#top >> no reading and meaning and audio supplied
http://www.textfugu.com/kanji/7-stroke/%E8%B1%86/#top >> layout changed
http://www.textfugu.com/kanji/%E5%BD%B9/#top >> here i got introduced to a ? radical, wich turns out to be “ikea” that i’ve never seen before…
http://www.textfugu.com/kanji/%E8%BA%AB/#top >> uses Kanji we’re not even supposed to know by now…
was just wondering. everything was so tight and nice until now i kinda hoped it would stay that way…
all the best!

February 21, 2014 at 5:41 am #44150Yeah, I think there was a thread here in a similar vein a while ago but I can’t remember the name or find it via Google search. There are lots of problems with TextFugu, many that have been around for a year or more. Koichi is apparently working on some huge update to the site, so nothing will be fixed until that is finished. He’s been working on it for over a year and not really touched the current site in the mean time, I don’t think (hence why the problems have been around that long). Some say he may actually finish this update in our lifetimes, but I’ve heard that’s just an urban legend. Basically, don’t hold your breath.
In the meantime, you seem to have gone through a fair few kanji here so I’m guessing you know *how* to learn them now – apply that method of learning to new kanji you find, come up with your own mnemonics, hunt down more vocab with those kanji in them. Or… scratch that and switch to a better method; there are plenty out there other than TextFugu’s! It’s not ideal – and certainly not the kind of thing you’d expect for paying $120 – but there’s not much you can do. Or maybe it *is* ideal because it’ll force you to switch to a different method that suits you more and you may learn them faster! :D
February 21, 2014 at 6:33 am #44151I haven’t finished TextFugu (Yet) but a lot of folks have recommended WaniKani as that covers the same Kanji learned through TF and potentially more. Might wanna sign up :D Because it’s in Beta I don’t think everyone can get access, I can’t remember if purchasing a life-time sub on TF granted me early access to WK.
It starts off slow but rapidly picks up the pace (Seriously, the pace quickens immensely). I hope that helps!
February 21, 2014 at 10:45 pm #44155thanks for reacting.
yeah i imagine it’s a lot of work too, so i don’t want to be too negative about a pending update, but like said, it would be good to have an ETA :) for the price we paid.
am also into wanikani at the moment, good suggestion.
so, off to create some mnemonics then!!
all the best!

February 28, 2014 at 9:49 pm #44237WaniKani covers most of all the ones here in the first ten levels. It has 50 levels all up, so yeah a whole lot more.
I wouldn’t expect the big update to happen for another year at the earliest.
