Btw, there is a cool site that I feel like sharing with you: The WaniKani Progress Tracker by @Cookie316! It gives you a nice and clear overview over your progress on Radicals, Kanji and Vocab (learned and burned) as well as your lesson activity.
You can check out the main thread here. Even though it’s nothing really important in my learning routine, I still like it a lot because of it’s simplicity.
I noticed that you did more lessons on Feb 17 
Is that because you leveled up that day?
Indeed 
It appeared like 25 lessons weren’t enough on that day, so I added another 25 lessons (of which 17 were the radicals)
NeoArc, お元気ですか
It’s very中々 nice that you put DrDru’s sentences Dru先生の文 in here… It’s very easy for me to read along with you this way!
It’s nice to so clearly have the permission of the original author. 
First off, belated happy birthday! I’m so amazed at your progress and diligence given the short amount of time!
A fellow box ticker! 万歳！I see you have no row for speaking in your table? 
Maybe you’d want to include some speaking practice if fluency is your ultimate goal!
Not sure if you mentioned anything about it in your thread already, so apologies if you have and I missed it!
お元気です！ (Not sure if that’s how you say “I’m fine” lol)
Thanks a lot! 
Honestly, I’m not sure myself if I mentioned it
Yes, speaking is something I eventually wanna get to as well, but currently, I don’t really have a lot of people to practice with, and if I sit in my room and talk Japanese with the mirror for hours, my familily will start to think that I’m going mad
For now, my main focus is reading and listening (escpecially reading, though), and I also sometimes write in Japanese bc it’s cool 
Maybe just try shadowing for speaking?
I tried that, but they speak so fast, and I am still so bad at Japanese 
Besides, when I did that, my mum asked me why I talk to myself, and I had no idea how to exlain it haha
Btw, as someone who knows Latin, your username is quite… well, interesting 
I feel like I know quite a few Queen songs that aren’t that well-known, here are some of my favorites:
I learned how to sing from Freddie Mercury of Queen Ii and Greatest Hits (and Robert Plant and Roger Daltry). . . Those guys can sing with power in a very large range and flip between vocal ranges very beautifully
and I learned how to play the piano by playing Bohemian Rhapsody… It’s still super hard to play
I’m a mildly talented monkey…I can mimick, but not CREATE such fantastic music
But I lost touch during their later works… One of my good friends died of AIDS around the same time 
I’m very sorry to hear about your friend. May the Great Cat of Health and the Great Cat of Safety purrotect you and your family and your friends! 
Also, it is fascinating that you managed to learn to play Bohemian Rhapsody!
My singing is so bad, but I still enjoy their songs a lot, they’re really amazing!
That’s pretty good! So you play the piano too?
Sorry to hear that, it’s always terrible to lose a dear one 
I had to go through that experience twice (almost three times) myself…
Time for two more chapters! 
怒った熊が木の間から、少年の前に飛び出しました。怖くなった少年は剣を取り出しました。
(Markus:) くらえ!
@drdru Could it be possible that you used the wrong exclamation mark here? If I type it with the IME, it looks like this: くらえ！
熊はますます怒って、少年に反撃しました。
(Markus:) どうしよう！！！
⌈やめなさい⌋
An angry bear jumped out from the woods in front of the boy.
(Markus:) Take this!
The bear got more and more angry and counterattacked the boy.
(Markus:) What should I do!!!
“Stop!”
声が聞こえた後、少女が走ってくると熊を簡単に倒してしまいました。
(Girl:) 大丈夫？
(Markus:) おかげさまで小さな怪我だけで済んだみたい。助けてくれて本当にありがとう。
(Girl:) このハーブを怪我に巻くと早く治るわ。
After the voice was heard, a girl came running and simply knocked down the bear.
(Girl:) Are you alright?
(Markus:) Thankfully, it seems like it ended with only a small injury. Thanks a lot for helping me!
(Girl:) Roll this herb on your wound and it will get better quickly.
Looks like a second character has been introduced Perhaps that’s one of the companions that were mentioned in the first chapter? 
You’re correct about the exclamation mark. I’ve changed it.
おかげさまで can mean ‘thankfully’ but also ‘thanks to you’ and in this case I’d say it would be a best translation.
Ok then, thanks for correcting me! Always very appreciated 
こんにちは！
I believe I finally found a seventh point that I can add to my table: Writing! While chatting in the Japanese POLL thread, I noticed how much I enjoy writing in Japanese, so I think I’ll add that to my study routine now, thus making my table a perfect square!
Besides, if I don’t practice speaking, I still gotta practice production a bit, so here I go, I guess! 
日本語で書くことを楽しみますよ！
Hey, since you mentioned writing, I just wanted to share ringotan, which is what I’m currently using. It now offers using the WK API as well, so you can learn to write (at least on your phone) the kanji that you learned on WK. You can also choose different orders or do custom reviews. It’s SRS as well.
It’s not perfect but I found it helpful and easy to use. You can get it for free (though the website says that will change in the future but if you get it now, you get to keep it)
Thanks for telling me! Ringotan has already been brought up, but I’m not really a fan of using the smartphone because of its small screen 
In this case, however, I meant writing in terms of writing Japense text. But yes, I also do handwriting practice because I enjoy it a lot!
