It's been painful, what's death like?

[Jun-ko]

Duh, kanji are easier to read upside down

[Saruko]

Actually, Death is hilarious…
I just learned the reading for 勢, and I think it’s got to be my favorite mnemonic yet

My favourite so far has been 尻 “Siri… help! I’ve been foolish!”

they could have put some effort into disambiguation, by choosing unique main definitions. urge, urge, pure, pure, employment, employment, it gets a bit old at times. maybe i’m just ranting because lvl 27/28/29 have been particularly hard on me. i didn’t notice any of this earlier, or didn’t pay attention.

[Dorotheian]

No, it definitely got worse that way mid-way through the 20’s. It’s still pretty bad.

I really wish WK went into the nuances of the words a little more. “Used in this context, not that context,” “polite word / formal word / informal word / common word / writing only” etc.

[OmukaiAndi]

yeah, that would be helpful. same for kanji, maybe a little extra note during the lessons or so.

[Dorotheian]

My default go-to is jisho.org and stop there, but since most of WK’s synonyms and definitions come from jisho to begin with and not all words have examples or go into great detail (jisho is really terse), it’s really not the best for explanations. What has been more effective for me to get a hold of a word’s actual nuances and usage is to check out linguee.com and compare the usage in the example sentences to the synonyms given.

[Ninkastmin]

trust me it gets worse

Im done with how many kanji/vocab meaning “clear” are out there.

It’s better for you if you start taking some time to look for the nuances yourself and add them as synonyms

[anshbansal]

which game is that?

[OmukaiAndi]

bummer. thanks for letting me know, so i’m prepared.

on my desktop, i have the script “vocab beyond”, so i can scroll through a list of vocab that contains the kanji. if that doesn’t help, i check out WWWJDIC on my phone.

it’s not even that much work, but it sure adds up.

I think I have too much Random Access, I need some Explicit Access.

When you first learn to read hiragana its fun. I always say, “yea I can read Japanese… I just don’t know what I am saying.”
