Erazer, I’d think they would test your kanji by having you write it out ^^;

Paliodor, it’s never too late to start so there’s always a chance to begin ^^

even if one doesn’t die from sniffing paint, I’m sure it can kill quite a few brain cells… xD

So you also want to learn Japanese. I was thinking about that since long time but always don’t have enough of time to start learning it. Maybe with the beginning of the new year I will have more time for it. Anyway, good luck Z ^^

yeah, i had difficulty remembering those either, the only reason i passed the “kanji phase” of my jap subject is it was multiple choice, the others helped me get the answers right, the majority played the guessing game. XD

bd77, yea. I have a few Japanese friends who are kind enough to help me from time to time ^^

Shinra, non-primary languages can be lost pretty fast if not used. It’s probably a good idea to refresh every now and then. It might come handy one day :D

Erazer, it’s easy to remember anything with less than 8 strokes but any more…and damn it’s bewildering how they even made up that Kanji x_x

Busterbeam, Good luck on your JLPT! I hope to one day to be able to join you at an izakaya in Japan! ^^

Mike, the more ways to communicate the better I’d say. Just like your friends, I also quite regret not learning Chinese (though it is my native tongue). Now I am semi-learning Chinese through…ahah Japanese.

Antsizedman, the same volume for the last six month or do you have the other harder volumes as well?

Q, Some kanjis doesn’t exist in Chinese? I’d figure it’s the other way around xD. And yea, I learned my katakana and hiragana (both through Super Robot Wars years ago) wayyyyy before I even took JPN101 (which took a whole term just to teach katakana… I was bored to death)

Eyeshield, I was learning Japanese like that for half a decade. Some formal education is nice as well if available ^^

Allen, I personally wouldn’t mind wearing a storm trooper outfit but a Gundam suit would be pretty badass… though I lack such creativity xD

rndm, how appropriate… clone of an original (clone)… just like the real stormtroopers xD

Astronerdboy, yea… the hiragana readings and stuff are all on the back.

I didn’t see this on the images you provided, but I would have thought that there would have been the different “readings” listed somewhere in Hiragana for the Kanji shown. Is that on the back of the card? I know almost no Kanji but I can read Hiragana and Katakana.

^No wai, if Z starts doing that(OMG, DC clones), then, then… DX
He should get a Gundam Exia mask. Yar.

Anyways, you’re gonna major in the Japanese language? Awesome. Good luck with that. ^^

I agree with Q. If it turns orange, it just wouldent be Z’s blog. and a stormtrooper helmet? maybe some sort of gundam helmet will do, but stormtrooper? really?

cool stuff!!!
but for me, the best way to learn japanese are:
1. watching anime,dorama, and listening j-music for the conversation
2. playing japan ver of all game for the wrinting ^^
