Just curious how’s it been for everyone.
I’ve been a bit discouraged because initially I remembered well with the mnemonic devices, but I feel like I’m stuck in a cycle of disappointment because in every other blog I read, the OP has learned the writing system within a day or within a week! It’s been taking me forever to memorize the writing system without kanji.
Of course, important info — it’s not the only language I am learning, not even the only one with a different writing system. I work full time and am in grad school part time. So I don’t expect to progress in Japanese nearly at the rate of someone who’d dedicate 8 hours/day to it. But I feel like I always forget what I’ve already known for so long.
