がんばいます！
I appreciate the feedback, this Anki deck should hopefully get my vocabulary to that point. I am actually pretty good at getting the meaning usually and the readings are the tough part, so I’m doing okay I guess. It just feels like a lot, but that’s true of any language I suppose. I’ve learned a lot in the last few months. Thanks for the encouragement!
I started with Duolingo and while it has all the regular duo problems, I think it actually does a good job with the kana stuff. You can turn off the Romaji too, forcing yourself to read. It doesn’t teach grammar, though, so I bought Genki Vol 1, working my way through that, and wotaku.wiki has a lot of good resources.
I really like the Cure Dolly stuff for grammar (though she can be difficult to understand, use the youtube transcripts or if you prefer reading a book someone helpfully wrote it all up). Her approach is totally different from the Genki methods, but I find it easier to understand.
I am also using Anki with the Kaishi 1.5k Kanji deck for kanji and vocabulary. This is honestly pretty painful, I’ve been doing it for like 10 days now and I feel like I’m doing badly every time, but I am improving. I could probably stand to study the radical stuff to understand more how the kanji is constructed but I haven’t found a good resource for that just yet.
Watashi mo, but getting better every day.
こんにちは！日本語を勉強しています！
I’m 90 days into learning Japanese. Most of that has been learning kana and I’m now working on kanji and grammar. It’s very different from English but I really like the way information is conveyed. I’m struggling with grammar stuff right now pretty bad, particularly conjugation, but it’ll click eventually. Also the lack of spaces is definitely something to get used to.
I sing this song (well, actually the Wall of Voodoo cover usually) on the toilet after Mexican food gets the best of me.

Lol I thought that’s where I was
I am 5’4" and though no one has ever outright told me they rejected me because of it directly, it almost certainly is a leading reason I have fewer interested parties. It seems like most women specifically mention height in their requirements. It’s too bad, I’d date a tall woman. Karlach is my favorite.
Being short helped me grow a personality and learn to be charismatic to overcome my height, and I’ve done okay, but it’d be foolish to say it’s not a huge hurdle in dating.
I’m 5’4“ and it’s not hate it’s plaque
Ew, Voyager. DS9 is much more like my Arch install: cobbled together from random bits and only held together by a very tired engineer.
His hair is fucking majestic.
You’re not wrong but you don’t have to say such hurtful things

Fanta flavored ass to mouth, coming up!
Can we all just agree that Abridged is the best way to rewatch the show? Abridged Vegeta is my spirit animal.
C’mon Tien? K Dog would hose him. Destructo Disc his three-eyed ass in half. But yeah the robots and the half-Saiyans don’t count, that’s cheating.
