Week 5
There’s more fun and laughter in Week 5 - are these inventions ingenious solutions to everyday problems… or total chaos when put in the wrong hands? See you there:
vocab spreadsheet reminders
I’m really happy people are using and filling out the spreadsheet - and I don’t want to be too hard on following the rules, etc. There’s just a small formatting thing / convention on the spreadsheets that I should point out and ask people to follow. It’s a convention used across WK book clubs so it will help you add to spreadsheets correctly in future clubs.
Summary
The first column - “kanji” is only for kanji appearing in the text. So if a word appears in kana only, then the first column stays blank, and you put the kanji version of the word in the “notes” column. I think Week 1 is mostly filled out correctly for reference.
I’m not going to have time to correct entries, but hopefully if enough people start using that convention and correcting a few entries now and then, then more people will get used to that format. In harder clubs where most words appear with kanji, then it is actually confusing if the kanji column is filled when the word appeared in kana.
This book is the opposite, and it is helpful to have the kanji, and I’m glad people are doing that - I just wanted to make you aware it needs to go in a different column.
