By this point, you’re well on your way to learning hiragana. That means it’s time to start to learn kanji. You won’t be learning kanji just yet, but you will be learning how you’ll be learning kanji on TextFugu (it’s quite different from the normal fare).
This chapter will be more useful to those who have tried learning Japanese / kanji before, as it explains what’s different compared to “regular” resources. Those of you who have never tried to learn Japanese or kanji won’t find it as useful, though it will help you when you start learning kanji in Season 2. You won’t remember everything written here, but you’ll have an idea as to what you’ll start doing soon, so that way it doesn’t come as much of a shock.
You don’t have to take notes, do any practice, or anything like that with this chapter. Just read through it, absorb what you can, and move on to the next chapter (which happens to be about kanji radicals). So, sit back and relax and read!
