For #LearningJapanese I have an #anki deck full of Heisig's #Kanji meanings - showing the keyword so I have to draw the Kanji. I've been using it for literally years, and I still mess it up a lot.
It occurred to me that maybe I keep making mistakes because my deck is one-sided, so I decided to get a second deck that shows me the Kanji and forces me to identify the keyword.
Unfortunately, the second deck is from a later edition of the book, often with different keywords 🤦

Finally got my certificate for passing the Japanese Language Proficiency Test for the N4 level in December. Now I passed N5 and N4 with a year between them but N3 will not be that easy, or that fast.

https://yomitan.wiki/ is SO USEFUL for learning japanese.... it tells you about inflections and explains them when you click on them, and also has an audio function!
10ten reader is awesome, but yomitan is leagues above even if it is a little more complicated to setup.
dunno if it's useful to anyone else but I discovered it last week and it's been significantly useful already.

When I do Bunpro reviews, I first look at the highlighted part, and then maybe at the context in the Japanese sentence.
So I almost typed 落ちるの :neofox_googly:

Learning Japanese the Right Way
After reading about Irina’s experiences of not learning Japanese, some people wonder how I learned Japanese correctly. While I can relate to a few experiences. Things such as picking up word immersion and some I can agree with, such as a language learning partner.
However, I disagree with some methods. Yep, it’s Duolingo, as it’s very […]#duolingo #japaneseLanguage #learningJapanese #opinion #personalExperiences

Thoughts on Taking the JLPT N2 and What I Have Learned?
Last year, I decided to take the JLPT. However, I am not too confident that I will pass it since I spent a lot of time doing WaniKani and doing some Bunpro along the way. My only immersion was a handful of JDrama and many Manga volumes.
While I knew that passing the exam at the N2 level would be a stretch, I may have a better chance of passing N3, […]#jlpt #learningJapanese #personalExperiences #personalThoughts

Believe it or not, these Japanese TTS programs are pretty useful for listening practice, and surprisingly accurate due to advancements in TTS. Since there is a sale on them, it may be worth sharing my thoughts on which one is the best for those who need more listening practice or want to create content, in Japanese. Also, voice banks from well known Seiyuus as well.

六花:そらちゃんが食べたの？
そら：違うわよ。あたしは冷蔵庫でこのプリンを見つけたわ。
そら：へへへ。食べっちゃったみたいわ。
六花:手前、返してよ。

Sora: No! Give me a break! -
I have been playing around with VoicePeak, which is a voice synthesizer (Japanese only, for now), which is based on a similar SynthV speech engine from Dreamtonics Oddly enough, I find VoicePeak having a more realistic voice than Cevio AI, although that is pretty good, mostly for Japanese at least (English is not too bad). AI Voice is, well kind of meh.
This might be useful in creating audio for listening comprehension. Here is a sample with a transcript.
