Does anyone have any idea why 襲 wasn’t simplified as ⿱竜衣 in Japanese? It is jouyou after all, and as far as I can tell it always has been.
Looking for a bit of advice for self study. Y’know how when learning vocab and kanji it’s pretty easy to tell how much to do a day? Like, 10 kanji a day plus reviews? How do I figure out a similar structure with grammar? I’m having trouble figuring out how much to learn a day/a week without doing too much.
I have genki and quartet so measurements can be in individual grammar points or in chapters if ones better than the other. Or maybe there’s a different way to keep track. I think my biggest issue is that if I work by chapters some are way easier than others so I get bored fast and add more then get overwhelmed later. but if I split it up within the chapter I miss things by accident.
I’m just struggling to figure out how to work through grammar study without getting overwhelmed, but also staying consistent and making progress. I am neurodivergent so the way I’ve been learning so far is hyperfocusing and studying for hours straight then forgetting most of it and relearning it months later just a bit faster. I want to try and fix that. I’ve stabilized my kanji study, working on fixing vocab too. But I just don’t know how to fix the way I’ve been trying to learn grammar.
Having the structure of a textbook and using other resources to help understand the points has really helped. but I still have nothing to help me understand how to set a schedule/timeframe for learning each point, revising each point, and actually keeping track of progress with the freedom to adjust the time frame slightly when needed. Like how I can learn 10 kanji a day but take rest days to catch up on reviews or learn 5 a day instead on days when I’m sick or tired.
