Aww, I’d love to try this, but I don’t know how to write Kanji, I can only recognize it…

Are you planning to learn? I’m still not able to write all the kana without a model - far from it.
I’m almost there with hiragana. But kata is my enemy. My brain refuses to less those things in.
Once I tame them though, I’d like to try and learn the most frequent radicals. I think it’s a bit over 50, isn’t it?
I kinda regret starting WK before knowing katakana well because now I lack motivation and time to learn how to write them. Plus, I can’t read them fast either. Japanese words written in katakana are very hard to get imo.

I guess you could switch all hiragana with katakana while writing. That way you force yourself to memorize it ¯\(ツ)/¯

Honestly, I find that just knowing how to write the kana is good enough. You’ll rarely ever need to write Japanese by hand, so I think it’s better to spend that time learning other things! So nah, I don’t really plan on learning how to write Kanji, no. Also, I kind of just learned katakana by being exposed to it a lot. It shows up a lot in video games, so playing is good practice. Though I still read katakana a bit slower than Hiragana…

I’ll probably never need japanese for a start. I’m learning it because I love it. And I particularly like the writing so I’d like to be able to write as well. But it’s already so much work learning how to decipher, let alone read!
I don’t play games so no exposure there for me. I wonder if I’m the only person here who does not play games…

I like games I just don’t have any sytems to play on.

Oh, in that case, you should definitely learn how to write if you want! I personally think it’d better to start learning to write now while you’re still early in WK!

I could probably place most of them on a map by now, but I really couldn’t name them off the top of my head.
Wasn’t there one of them quiz games that someone once linked here? I’ma go see if I can find it…
Aha.

I got 40, because I forgot several that I really should have known.
Since then, I’ve been getting distracted by other quizzes in the Japan category. Like this one:
Idly curious as to what the fewest number of answers you need in order to get full marks is.

My geography would still be absolutely dire if not for good old sporcle
