So I have been doing ok so far, generally getting around 80% correct in reviews and doing rather well I feel, then I hit problems with the numbers, specifically 5 and 6!
I keep forgetting whether it is on’yomi or kun’yomi, then sometimes a small tsu or a big one. Generally I am stuck on:
5 things
fifth day
fifth month
6 things
6th day
6th month
Wanikani seems to do a really good job or teaching the mnemonics, until it gets to some of these where it just says “it’s different, remember it”.
Does anyone have any suggestions of how to remember these number based ones? Also any suggestions on how to study alongside what I am learning, it’s getting a little frustrating getting it wrong because I am torn between 2 answers, only to get it wrong the next time again because my mind goes “wait, did I choose that last time and it was wrong, or am I remembering it because it’s right!”
(ps also how do you write in Japanese in these threads? Do I need to install a keyboard or am I missing something?)
