I love how my reading of Japanese has transformed from filling in every kanji with a mental "??" To filling in Most with the mental "??" But then im like OH that one is Tsuki for moon! Or kawa for river! Or sei that they use in sensei and gakusei (what it actually means idk lol)

月川生 just a small sample of kanji I have been genuinely learning

#speculation nation #still way too many i dont know but im GETTING THERE #also fun where im like. 'uhh i think that one means power but I Dont Know how it's pronounced'#or like above and below. i know what those kanji look like but i forget the words in japanese #i know boku and ima and watashi of Course. and sakana and fire and yama and naka #And More. actually a fair deal of them now #unfortunately there are in fact Thousands of kanji so me knowing / recognizing ~20 of them is not that many overall #BUT IT'S STILL MORE THAN BEFORE. and that's what matters 😤#i went to the japanese grill place sunday and on the sign they had the symbols for fire and mountain #火山。and i was just like GASP I KNOW THOSE!!!#it's just such a great experience to recognize things ive been learning. ive been practicing reading japanese anytime it crosses #my path. which actually is a fair deal given that my realm of interests lies in large part with japanese stuff #(aka why i wanted to learn japanese to start with lol)#i was a lil disappointed bc id hoped they would have japanese on the menus too but unfortunately they did not #they Were playing kpop the whole time tho. which is a lil funny actually. sittin at a japanese grill with my white family listening to kpop #ft my jewish grandma asking my sister's chinese boyfriend about the japanese food & him being like I Wouldnt Know #idk where im going with this. it is certainly off topic.#ANYWAYS YEA! LEARNING! it's exciting.
