20230704: Kana minor success, Continue with grammar & Anki vocabs

 Day 5!

Kana

I've finally been able to score at least 85% in Kana practice these days. I feel so much more confident reading through materials when viewing content on websites or subtitles on YouTube. Even though I'm still very slow, I feel like I can read out sentences at a much better speed that I was able to in the last few days! Another small win :) 

Again all thanks to https://itazuraneko.neocities.org/learn/kana

Grammar

CureDolly's next series of videos about tense is incredible to be honest.

Tense & verb: slightly different but not way too difficult. The important thing to remember is which words go with which ending depends on their own verb group

  • Ichidan (いる or える): Change る to て for continuous present tense and た for past tense.
  • Godan:
    • utsuru う, つ, る change to って or った
    • nubumu ぬ, ぶ, む change to んで or んだ
    • kugu く, ぐ change to いて, いで or いた, いだ
    • su す, change to して
  • Irregular:
    • 来る (come) becomes 来て
    • する (do) becomes して
    • 行く (to go) becomes 行って
Adjectives: Will rewatch tomorrow to understand a bit more. 

Kanji

A new day with a new list of characters: 

This raised my total number of characters to 98! 


Already can see some benefits because I can see some words and understand the meaning of them, hence it's going good for me I think! :) 

Anki vocabs

Oh boy, this one is hard and I'm just going to follow through Anki every day in the morning to force it through my head :(. I've started to recognize some decent words that are very familiar, but remembering the kanji is tough tough, and also remembering the hiragana pronunciation on top of it is just VERY tough! Gambatte buddy. 

On the side note, I talked to Hikaru yesterday about my plan to learn Japanese, and I can't wait to surprise everyone to be honest, so I got that going for me :)
