    That sounds awesome! I’d get double to practice! I have to make it a rule.

    “You can not advance until you perform the task on the Card”

    I love it! Knowing me I’ll forget the one that’s over the toilet!

    That’s exactly what I’m doing! ^_^ I wonder though, if I should keep it to just vocabulary, or if I should put a number of sentence cards up too. Some questions that I have to recite the answers to, part of conversations that I have to translate into Japanese, or from Japanese, or read in Japanese.

    I have another thing I’d like to ask:

    Should I write them out myself or make them on the computer and print them out?

    I don’t have a way to study when I’m not at home, at least not easily. I’m a klutz, so I always drop and\or lose my flashcards if I bring them out with me. (I don’t have any fancy i-products) Lol

    I just started a new notebook, I hope that will be able to put study material in it for while I’m not driving at work. (I’m a trucker, sorta)

    Flash cards are my favorite learning tool, as no one I know wants to help me. They get mad when they hold up something written English, and I say it in Japanese. They say something like “This is completely stupid. How am I supposed to tell you if you get it wrong? Why can’t you have (another person) do this for you instead!?” Yup, just what I need, a De-motivational speech form my parent\sibling\lover…. and they’ve all done it too.

    That’s why I’m putting up all the flashcards around the house this week! I’m in the process of making 200 of them, so that I can ‘shuffle the deck’ around the house every couple of days.

    Hopefully I won’t be ruining my pronunciation too badly. I find it very hard to practice that online, because it’s like talking over the phone, but with more echoes and erratic volumes. lol

    Dear Koichi and team,

    Thank you for all the hard work you always put into our lessons; for all the hard work you put into making Textfugu look better, read better, easier to understand, and so inspiring! I love reading the articles you put out every so often, they only inspire me to learn more!

    I admit that I haven’t been the best student, and I’m sorry for that. I’m also sorry that we here on the forums haven’t been very good about showing that appreciation. I feel badly for all the accusations I read about you and the team. So, I’m sorry for that too. I don’t think you deserve it. It’s very hard and time consuming to rework an entire site, and not easy fixing any glitches that result in such changes.

    So I just wanted to say THANK YOU and that I will do better by you all- by being a better student from now on!

    You are doing seriously amazing work here! You inspire so many of us to continue learning Japanese.
    From,
    Misty Hayes

    I used the Kana de manga books for the traces, after that I just used graph paper. That’s how I learned Hiragana and Katakana.

    That’s so funny! I was having a dream in Japanese, sort of, a part of it anyway, and the next morning my boyfriend said I had yelled at him in Japanese!
