Well… I figure I’m going to try and follow the TextFugu method as closely as possible and not venture too far from the path.  I mean, I paid for it, so why make up my own thing?

Early on I decided to skip keeping a journal, because I’m really bad with those and didn’t see the point.  Soon I discovered how useful it could be when I was having a hard time with ぬ, ね, め, れ, and わ.  Writing those down and examining them in isolation really helped me to nail them.  The ‘n’s have a little knot at the end.  And for whatever reason, when I see め I find it such a wishy-washy character my first thought is “meh.”  Once I had those fully mnemonicized the other two fell into place.  So now I’ve learned to stay on target and trust the mighty TextFugu.

And as for を, how could a character that’s comprised of the letters THC not make you think “whoa”?  ;)

I think うごき is closest to what I’m looking for.  I was kinda scraping the barrel by the end of my list, and “motion” (or, I suppose, “movement”) seemed like a relevant term in regards to describing how characters move through a scene, or how the camera moves.  Very useful when discussing Kurosawa. :)

Thanks!
