950 Kanji – Motivation hurdle
I’m at 950 Kanji now and I’m not feeling the same way I did last week. I’m pleased to be here, but my mind is tired from a lot of other stuff going on with me in my life. At … Continue reading

Ka-Douken! Ryu Kanji
This is a continuation on more character based Kanji series. I won’t post much on this anymore. I’m about to start using the primitive for the Flash to represent 行 (iku). But I used the images of Ryu and street fighter … Continue reading
Homer Simpson Kanji
I’m at 876 Kanji now, trying to Hit 900 by the end of the day, but I’m losing steam. Sometimes the Kanji are so abstract that sitting and making up stories (or even reading really good ones on Remembering … Continue reading

800 Kanji! 八十万の漢字だよ！
I’ve hit 800 Kanji and i’m starting to feel the buzz. Doing this is pretty intense, especially if you want to finish quickly. I’m realizing through my SRS reviews that you must ENSURE that your stories are solid or you’ll … Continue reading

Thoughts on Grammar and study
I’ve been writing about having a mixed approach to the idea of AJATT, because many aspects of the system are very “open” to interpretation. I guess the meat of the system is what you believe you can get from … Continue reading
