The husband Kanji is from the 4 stroke set. The radical for husband should be in the radicals 4 set but doesn’t seem to be. Quickest solution would be to manually add it in yourself. There’s no audio for the radicals so it’s just copy and pasting. Nice spot. I’ve noticed a few mistakes with these anki decks such as missing audio and wrong meanings and readings.

On the TF な adjectives list, the 4 that end with an い are きれいな, きらいな, ていねいな, ゆうめいな.

Good point crumb. Immersion in Japanese music, tv shows, movies, etc. will help for the things the books can’t teach and will improve your listening and speaking skills. For explanation of grammar points and why you’re learning something the way it is, studying is essential. A combination of both is the best method.

Armando raises an interesting point too. Tweaking AJATT your own personal way could be more beneficial than Khatz’s way. His posts do have that motivation factor in them too.

That sounds as boring as the town I’m in. I live in a small town, mainly a coummuter town but there’s a few businesses. Closest thing here to Asian culture is the Chinese restaurants and takeaways.

Knowing kanji will definitely help with learning Mandarin. Written Chinese has two scripts, simplified and traditional. People say it’s easier to learn traditional first then simplified. Kanji seems to be a mix of both simplified and traditional. Mainland China uses simplified script, Taiwan uses traditional and Hong Kong and most overseas Chinese communities use Traditional too.

I pretty much have the same goal as you. Knowing both Japanese and Mandarin will look impressive on a CV/Resume.

Btw, are you from the UK? I seem to remember you said you were in another thread a while ago. If so, which part?

I’d continue to listen even though you don’t understand much of it. This will be beneficial to you in the long term. You’ll surprise yourself one day when you’ll be able to undestand most of what’s being said. It won’t harm you in any way. Another way to look upon it is like this, when we were younger and first learning to speak, we were listening to conversations we didn’t understand. Gradually over time we pick up more words and the ability to get better at speaking. Doing that with another language when we’re older, we already have an advatange in a way.
