Just a Brit, whose Japanese is... Less than satisfactory! (Study log)

So today, due to my current reviews I just noticed the 土 kanji at my workplace. I know what the sign means, but it gives a new perspective to it! The full sign is 土足厳禁. Now, I know the meaning of 土, and I remember 足 means foot, so the first part literally means dirty feet?

Fun!

It always feels great to see a kanji in the wild and to know it’s meaning :smiley:

I think this can also mean ‘wearing shoes’.

So something about shoes being forbidden. Are you a lifeguard? :stuck_out_tongue:

If it’s at a school you probably need to swap to the inside slippers right

Back home I worked in the games industry, here I couldn’t get work without Japanese, but didn’t have the time or motivation until now! :face_with_peeking_eye:

You can, although it’s usually only adults who do at my school. I tend to not use indoor slippers myself, because my feet are way too big haha!

I just got to level 3! :tada:

I’ve been doing great when it comes to the kanji reviews, and pretty good when it comes to the vocabulary reviews. Sometimes I get too ahead of myself, and write いつか when it was 五つ (I am basically just rushing and just looking at the first kanji, and not reading the kanji properly.) so far, the most difficult part has been remembering the readings for the ~ days and ~ things, because the numbering is slightly different, and my brain just can’t handle it. lol

Otherwise going amazingly! Really enjoying things so far! Tomorrow, I may try doing all of the kanji in one lesson, just to see how it goes.

Lol, that’s so cool :rofl: you seem to do a bit better than me on the Vocab readings, tho :slight_smile: But other than that, it’s really the same :wink:

Yeah, you are a fair few levels away too, so!

Unfortunately, I don’t really know how I did in the first three levels, as I started to use wkstats at level four :slight_smile: I assume that it was around the same, tho :wink:

Btw do you know about kumirei’s heatmap? Since I saw that you are ok with using userscripts (while rolling some dices :wink:), I thought you might like it :slight_smile: It is one of my favorite user scripts!
