I only spoke a little bit during my 2-week stay in Tokyo. That was in 2012 and I hadn’t even started textfugu yet, so I only knew hiragana, katakana and some basics. I think the only real Japanese “conversation” besides すみません or こんいちは was when a cashier in a store asked “スイカですか?” upon seeing my suica card and I replied with そう。.
I know a lot more of Japanese now, but I would probably still be horrible at conversations. Still, at my next stay in Japan I will try to speak as much Japanese as possible. :)It’s not possible to change the system font without root access I’m afraid. You either have to get the Anki-internal solution to work or wait for an update and hope that google decides to fix the problem.
I decided to switch the font on Android, so I don’t get confused with the kanji. I used this tool mentioned in the thread missingno15 linked. If your device is rooted, it’s really simple and works well for me. It changes the standard kanji font from Chinese to Japanese characters,
I see, that does seem to be the reason. I agree that it would be useful to know both ways to write the kanji. I assumed the character on android wasn’t an actual kanji, since I couldn’t find it in any dictionary searching by the radicals. I only found it as a Chinese character. 包 also looks different in the android font, it seems to use the “snake” radical instead of the “spring” one.
I just finished season 2. Most of the grammar so far was repetition for me, since I already learned it before. However it’s always good to have a refresher and most of the vocab was new to me. Season 3 will probably be more difficult, but also more interesting because I will learn new things!
