I put off studying Japanese today, which was stupid because I had the whole day off work.
Oh well. Even though no one is reading this, apparently keeping a blog really is good for me. It makes me want to get on so I'll have something to blog about just in case anyone ever does.
Got on smart.fm, which ps is an amazing site and anyone reading this should go and look at it because it's amazing - ANYWAY. Got on that site, spent a little while doing hiragana, decided I was tired of that (as I frequently do) after two lessons and so decided to play brainspeed instead. I do this frequently, as hopefully it helps me learn as well as being faster and rather more entertaining (read: nerve-wrecking) than just sitting there going 'Yes I know ぬ now quiz me already.' I got up to a speed of 53 questions per minute, which is around the point when making reasoned decisions starts to break down and I begin clicking frantically on anything that's available in the wild hopes that it will be right. I mean that is fast to try and recognize a character, move to the correct choice, and then click on it.
Well, I'm getting faster. And I'm down to (I think) 64 hiragana that I haven't 'officially started' yet, that being actually done the stuff online rather than just reciting all the hiragana to myself as I draw them on the floor at work with the aid of a squeejee and some water from watering the plants.
Anyway, I AM IMPROVING!
I think I'm going to go back to playing brainspeed for a little while now, and see if I can improve my score any. :|d
