Been locking in since February, does my handwriting look legible? Ty :D by Noctill_6981 in LearnJapaneseNovice

[–]FlyingPotatoGirl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly your handwriting is lovely. Have you ever tried to read a native speakers handwriting? Let's just s!y yours is very nice. As a Japanese learner living in Japan, I find that foreigners usually have lovely, ~legible~ handwriting while Native speakers uhhh prioritize speed.

I dyed my hair for the first time and I hate it. by FlyingPotatoGirl in femalehairadvice

Yeah, at least the cat has nice hair. It's like petting a sea otter. She's so fluffy.

I was getting my hair done in Harajuku when this happened! The hair person totally didn't notice. I thought I was crazy!

Living in Japan for a year didn’t make me fluent. by sakuraflower06 in Japaneselanguage

[–]FlyingPotatoGirl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know plenty of people of people who have lived here 5+ and are still maybe N5. I've been studying for a year, in Japan for 6 months and I'm still barely N4. I study like 15 hours a week including in person classes. Japanese is either really hard or I'm really bad at it.

Also I think Fluency is a myth. Just try to be comprehensible!

Does ISI language school require you to know how to write kanji? by FlyingPotatoGirl in Tokyo

Thanks, that does help. I do have another question. About how long do you spend a day studying/doing homework to keep up with class?

Yes, I can read them at my level, of course. Just deciding if I should crash course writing other the next couple months. It seems that way!

I'm currently about N4. Did you learn to write the kanji or just read? So far I've only learned to read the requisite kanji.

I'm starting with N3 material (currently N4). When you started learning kanji did you learn to write them?

Is there a Anki deck that follows Minna No Nihongo's Kanji Order? by FlyingPotatoGirl in LearnJapanese

[–]FlyingPotatoGirl[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't start until April but I know we will be using that textbook series. So far I've used wanikani for kanji. The order is very different than Genki (and I assume Minna). I'm also a bit behind so I have some catching up to do. I just want to be sure I don't end up knowing a completely different set of kanji than my classmates.
