Today, I was casually blazing through 260 reviews that accumulated over the past few days when out of nowhere, the 亠 radical appeared, and it was burned before I knew it! Several other radicals were burned during the review, but I just wanted to make this post to celebrate. Also, to anyone who hasn’t burned yet, I encourage you to press forward and look forward to that day because it’s another milestone in the grand path to fluency! Thank you WaniKani because without y’all, I wouldn’t have the motivation to study kanji. P.S. if anyone wants to get into grammar but doesn’t know where to start, use BunPro. [http://www.bunpro.jp](http://www.bunpro.jp) Also, Tae Kim’s guide is pretty lit. ---

頑張って！ My first wave of burns was a mess! I mixed up half of them with their kanji counterparts. Good luck to you on your continuing kanji adventure! ---

It’s always great to burn things! Arsonists would agree. I’ve already burned quite a few things. (115, to be precise.) I’ve had plenty of time to; I’ve been on level 3 for 232 days. At first, I was a bit confused; “Don’t you burn things earlier?” I thought. But, I then realized that, normally, one burns things later in their levels. I’m just in quite a sorry state. At least, I was, until I got to level 4. (Technically, I’m not _there_ there yet, but once I subscribe…) Hopefully, this one won’t last 232 days. I remember when I first burned something. It was probably also a radical. The joy really is great, no matter the thing you burn, though. Congratulations on burning your first turtle! ---
