You’re not wrong, Tsetycoon. Look at my first post in this thread: http://www.textfugu.com/bb/topic/onyomi-vs-kunyomi-the-question-as-old-as-time/
A possibly non-exhaustive list of all the various yomi threads. That was a year ago too, I’m betting the number has quadrupled by now :P
…and as I’m typing this, I just realise you actually commented in that thread already XD “This question has been asked literally hundreds of times!” :D Still, it’s a useful link regardless.
Ha!
I keep meaning to email Koichi about this but never find the time…
Damn, you saw that coming…
If you’re doing Computer Science, what will help you get a job is practising programming languages in your spare time. Work on your own little projects and build up your practical skills. While Japanese may be an interesting talking point in interviews, being able to display what you can do with a computer would be more valuable, I’d imagine. That’s not to say you shouldn’t minor in Japanese, I’m just making a point :P However, if self-studying is going well and taking a Japanese course would be as expensive as you say it is, I’d probably recommend against it: not worth the money.
I’ve only got experience of Computer Science courses though (end of 2nd year now), so make of that what you will.
There’s no direct analogue in Japanese, as far as I’m aware. No real loss though, I don’t think – you need context to determine what “it” is referring to anyway.

よろしくお願いします。^_^
You aren’t from Scotland by any chance, are you?
Hashi hasn’t been on here in a long, long time, so I’m assuming that post will be safe ;) I haven’t seen his red text in a while.
I’ve been here about 2.5 years, but I’m struggling to remember any sandwich haiku; it does sound vaguely familiar though… You had a fair number of posts edited/deleted back when you were on here regularly, I remember :P
The forum of an absolute beginner’s textbook? Yup, that’s where all the fluent kids hang out! :P
Probably the most knowledgeable/experienced is missingno15, but he’s still a… “beginner” *cue music*
Your best bet is Lang-8, as Mark said.Thank you for rephrasing my thought, Kyle; that makes it sound better. I totally agree, kanji can be hard when you’re first starting out, but once you get your bearings and hit upon the right method for you, it really shouldn’t be much of a struggle. It may be a bit of a monotonous task since there are so many and it takes a while, but that’s more a case of boredom than actual difficulty learning each one.
@Stark: You’ll come to not care about whether readings are kun or on eventually, just give it time ;)
Oooooor… you could just learn the word and not bother whether it’s on or kun? Also works and there’s less hassle involved :P
The people who say learning kanji is difficult are either doing it wrong or aren’t actually learning the language XD
Oh. My. Christ.
Right, you need to write a shell script to re-hash Anki’s hash tables, which will allow you to reconfigure the necessary overlayer configuration environment variables. After that, you have to lock on to Anki’s website, hack into its mainframe, and then build a Visual Basic GUI to track their IP address; you should end up getting a virtual page file dump that will contain extra RAM, the type you actually need to run audio in Anki. At that point, you just doodah the flibbertigibbets, turn the flux capacitor up to 11 and shout “Geronimooooo!”. Voilá, working sound in Anki :)
Wait, I think that was just a dream I had once…
(Sorry, I’ve no idea about Anki 2, I just felt like being obtuse :P Maybe one of these other fine ladies or gentlemen will be able to help you)
Wait, what was the problem? Is he not just giving you new words to learn?
Because 一人 also means “alone”? Simple enough :P
