What platform are you on? As I understand it, the desktop version can still import .anki files, and you can use that to re-export them as .apkg files. I wouldn’t really know, though – I don’t do anything much with Anki.
Welcome!
On the PC, the shortcut to switch languages is alt+shift.
For the benefit of any future users w=with the sane issue who find this thread, what was your solution? =)
I’m not seeing any issue. Maybe try the non-HTTPS page http://www.textfugu.com/season-1/japanese-pronunciation/3-8/#top
Right here:
Welcome!
Welcome! That’s a pretty impressive goal, there.
Ooo, I’ll certainly check out that blog.
While I haven’t cycled in Japan myself, have you ever watched Cycle Around Japan on NHK World? They’ve even done an episode on Biwa-ko.
I’m tempted to walk the Old Tokaido someday, though any time I attempt any sort of all-day walk, I always quickly realise how far out of my current grasp that kind of major expedition is. =P
(Also, to tootle my own horn a bit, I just got back from a holiday in Japan this morning. Blogged about it in the same place as my first trip – http://japan.jrudd.org/ )
Welcome! Where’d you go last year? Where are you planning to go this year? =)
I just got home from a two-week trip there literally this morning. =D
I confess I’ve not really had this issue. Maybe studying some vocab which use these kanji would help hammer the point home?
Yeah, if doing WaniKani afterwards was always the plan, then you’d be better off doing it instead – you’ll find there’s a lot of overlap if you study all the TextFugu kanji first.
Welcome! I too am from Australia, have recently visited Japan (last December for me) and have already booked my next trip (leaving Thursday next week). =)
Where in particular did you visit?
Tragically, we’ll be too late for cherry blossoms – we could, admittedly, have followed them north, but we want to head west to visit Himeji Castle, because when we visited it on our first trip in 2010, they’d literally just closed it for refurbishment. This trip will be Kanagawa -> Toyama/Kanazawa -> Tateyama-Kurobe Alpine Route -> Nagoya (as a base for the Kiso Valley) -> Kyoto -> Osaka -> Chiba. Just two weeks (it’s pretty much all either of us can afford to take off work in one slab – or rather, it’s the longest either of our workplaces can manage without us before collapsing into anarchy).
I blogged our last two trips at http://japan.jrudd.org/, and this trip will be going up there as well.
Hadn’t heard anything about the next Tokyo Treat box, save that mine is en route. I only get the regular box.
There’s always the Tofugu 4500 Sentences thingy, but (a) it costs money, and (b) it’s not specifically intended to keep pace with the lessons. It comes with an Excel spreadsheet included, which I imagine you can import into Anki easily enough.
Oh, a personal greeting. =P
Welcome! I too get a Tokyo Treat box every month. What tier? You get any practice in by reading the packaging? Especially the instructions on the DIY candy? I read the DIY instructions, but everything else gets put in a box with the intent to try reading it later (or at least making an Anki deck out of it for studying), but I never get around to it.
Where’d you go in particular during your trip?
I visited last December, and will be going again in just a week and a half from now. I’d like to live there for an extended period – if for no other reason than to get more time to do some of the things I’d like to do – but I also kinda don’t want to be away from home for an extended period. Bit of a dilemma…
