I guess that also depends on what your native tongue is, too. Some people will be naturally good at picking it up, but I don’t think anyone learns kanji without pure pain involved (besides Japanese natives who benefit from a completely immersive environment).

Valid-- if there’s hiragana in the word, ひと/びと. If it’s all kanji, though, I pretty much always go for じん when in doubt.

the hiraganaと in between confused me in the beginning, until i realized it’s “and”.
Nice one

Easiest would be to just map different permutations of オ and レ onto brainf*ck.
Lots of those exist (like Ook, Moo, Blub, etc.)

If we started with something more like Lambda Calculus we could not only use it without a computer, we’d get to eat terms after reductions.
