Hello and welcome, I’m from Pennsylvania and I have been to Oregon on a road trip. Got some absolutely fantastic pix there along the coast.
Those are some great reasons. Seems like a quite a few UK student here!
Welcome! I always get a kick out of recognizing a few words in an anime. Listening is a difficult skill to acquire (for me) but I’m working on it.
Welcome and good luck on your studies.
Same boat…on and off…then I got in to TF and I make sure I do something everyday. I was actually off for a couple months and kept kicking myself over what I was forgetting. Since TF tho I’ve been pretty steady if not spectacular. Wouldn’t want Koichi to get upset with me. ^_^;
Anyway welcome back.Good luck with your studies and upcoming trip!
Welcome! I once took German in college (German on my Mother’s side) and it was utter fail for me. I had a very difficult time with the three genders among other things. I always felt that language learning was my weak point and never again tried to learn a second language until now. Since I’m retired I can devote more time to it than most and am happy with my progress.
I agree with you about the sound of the Japanese language and enjoy the music even if I have no understanding of what they are saying.Yes welcome, and how is it getting around in Tokyo with limited Japanese skills?
Yeah, just something I picked up in Human Japanese, probably used it incorrectly. -_-;
Thanks for the info and support! Plunge ahead I shall! ^_^ どういたしまして！
Welcome back! I was away myself for a couple months but did keep up with my Anki and other studies.
I like Tangorin.com for a dictionary so I’m more familiar with it. Choose “Kanji”, click “Radical Search” then you can pick radicals and up pops Kanji using those radicals.

I feel that way every time I get a new list! For some reason a couple vocab will ‘stick’ almost instantly while others give me problems for weeks. I pick these low hanging fruit first and add a word or two a day until I have the whole list. I don’t move on until I know the vocab.
I also constantly review old lists. I have several electronic flashcard decks of around 10 to 15 words that I go over every day. I don’t depend on Anki for this because the intervals get too long but instead use just a card flipping program. Quizlet can be used and there are mobile versions.
As I’ve mentioned in other posts I like FlashCardlet on my iPod Touch. It uses Dropbox and can also download Quizlet decks. When I know the vocab it’s easy to flip thru the decks and refresh my brain.
Kanji vocab is the toughest for me.
That was a fast talker! O_o
I do have some audio lessons that I use and the native speaker there does put in a short pause after the particles which help greatly.
I’ll keep working on the brain training!I’ve had the same problem of late, after I started using Dropbox the import did not bring the sound with the cards. I had to manually copy the sound files to the media file.
