Not out of the 林 yet
15 months ago
I realized this morning that I’ve attained the level of familiarity with grade 1 kanji such that the more advanced kanji now looks clearly and appreciably distinct. I’ve started to play “guess the grade” when I encounter unfamiliar kanji. Sometimes I get it right, although my guesses are pretty coarse grained: Grade 1, grade 2, or uh, beyond grade 2.
I’ve concentrated on the meanings, and have a lot of work to do in terms of learning the readings (on-yomi/kun-yomi) and how to compose the characters. Still having fun.
