    You said ” Osaka was just big enough, and the transportation was (thankfully) a breeze.”

    I assumed you meant the transportation around Osaka?

    What did you use for transportation?

    Anyone know if you can switch out the time zone the board is displayed in?

    Can’t comment on if これ has to refer to a thing over a person or not, as there may be exceptions I don’t know about, but I would read: これはがくせいですか as: Is this a student?

    And これ doesn’t imply possession, it implies location.

    これ = This close to me.
    それ = That close to you.
    あれ = That over there, away from both of us.

    However, if I remember correctly (from old studies, haven’t got that far again with TF)

    You should be using:

    こちら for a person.

    Yeah I have the same problem with the warnings of too many decks, but there doesn’t seem to be an easy way to consolidate them.

    I think my comp is likely strong enough to handle any lag from it though, as the manual says that having too many decks just slows Anki down, and I haven’t seen that happen yet.

    I’m currently studying for finals, once they are over I’ll investigate more into Anki 2 and figure out how the more complex aspects work.

    No specific tips sorry, but I can tell you it’s not that big of a deal.

    Until you’ve spent a lot of time speaking Japanese in Japan (if even then) the Japanese you speak to will almost always hear the difference even when you don’t.

    In fact it can actually be psychological in nature, so even if you replicate it perfectly they may hear it differently as that is what they expect to hear from you.

    That said, it can also work in reverse, in that even if yours is a bit off, if you speak fluently enough with good pronunciation otherwise, they may stop hearing it if they talk with you often enough.

    In my opinion, this should be one of the last things you should worry about in learning Japanese.

    That said if you really can’t stand not getting it, best place to look is youtube. They will show you where to put your tongue and other weird things and you can actually hear how they do it.

    -Cheers

    Where as I find Anki just confuses me as it presents the on and kun readings at the same time. Where as WK teaches you the most common first, which works a lot better for me, as I can solidify it one way first, then work on the alternatives.

    I tried to remember on/kun, but when either reading could have multiple English words and multiple Japanese words and then when used in vocab the Japanese is further modified my brain went into meltdown…

    So far my level 1 radicals are in Master and Kanji have started to trickle into Master since Sunday. There’s 17 vocab in Apprentice and everything else is in Guru. Reviews are still slow, like maybe 3-4 a day and most of then are just for one item, with the occasional review for at most 5 items.

    I just got my first set of radicals into Master like 5 mins ago. It’s silly how stoked I was. LOL
    I knew I hadn’t seen them pop up for awhile so I was thinking, “oooh this is going to be the MASTER test.”

    Unfortunately two of them got knocked back to apprentice as I called the “Rice Paddy” radical “Rice Field” (which is accepted by the Kanji) and the “volcano” radical “eight” (which is what the Kanji is). Now that I know the Kanji combo for volcano there is no way I would think of the volcano radical as volcano and not eight. @_@

    As for learning them two different ways when using WaniKani in conjunction with other stuff, I actually find that really beneficial. Something really clicks in my brain when I see something on WaniKani that I already knew the spoken word of, or sort-of knew. Kinda like when you’re familiar with certain words from songs, games, anime etc. but learning it in WaniKani gives you a fuller picture, and a deeper understanding of those words. I like that feeling a lot!

    Given that, maybe I’ll treat TextFugu words as “get familiar with, but don’t stress it too much”. Then when I see more of those pop up on WaniKani, being somewhat familiar will give me that extra boost to solidify it.

    Sounds like a great idea, as everyone learns things slightly different. ^_^

    PS: What does your signature say? It looks like “I love barrels!” but something tells me that’s not it. oO

    Welcome to TextFugu!

    Yeah WaniKani is great. And you should get a lot of benefit from TextFugu as well.

    In case you don’t already use it…
