Back from the POLL thread, the Sparkle vs Anti-Sparkle group is jumping into the fray.
I reached level 27… yay!!
First vocab lesson…
“alone”
Me: oh, alone like ひとり (一人)
WK: yes, this is also ひとり also means alone but with different kanji 独り
Me: oh god, I’m starting to see just how things are going to become hard from now on
For anyone interested, the nuance here according to a native speaker on HiNative app…
一人 is used to denote the existence of a single person, like there’s just one customer at a shop
独り is used to denote the actual feeling of being alone, like i don’t want to be alone anymore, send help, and hugs and puppies and kittens
that is an amazing image! hahaha
I wondered about the use of ひとり in Kana-Boon’s Fighter… it turns out they use 一人 so they just mean ‘lone fighter’ in the sense that there’s one, not that they’re all alone
“愛無い 耐えない退廃 一人の fighter”
although I don’t know if these are official lyrics, and to me, given context the other kanji could be used… i don’t really know though
That’s a Gundam song, right?
I’m not sure either, but until new evidence arises I guess that’s the meaning intended.
oh, apparently it’s the intro to iron blooded orphans.
i never watched it, they’ve done a few anime themes though
Almost there!
頑張って
GO! GO! GO! GO! GO!
Ok, here goes…I have to get all 32 kanji right (I made two mistakes previously) to level up and I’m determined not to cheat, fingers crossed!
ETA - just 3 more to guru, so close - I’m not screwing the last one up!
CONGRATULATIONS !!!
Forgot to post yesterday - I made level 26, the first fast level (apart from 1 and 2). Hey, people who haven’t reached this level yet, that probably sounds like “fun” right, completing a level in 3.5 days? Well yes, I suppose it is “fun” if by “fun” you mean memorizing 30 kanji plus 3 radicals all at once and never getting any of them wrong in your reviews until they’re guru’ed. Seriously, I felt like I was prepping for an exam making up mnemonics for all 30 (well actually I did all 33) kanji for this level. I still don’t know if trying to do this level so fast is actually a better idea than taking a week with it.
@Ninkastmin, you did it, right? Is it worth it. Is there … cake?
Love it!!! Thanks.
Make sure to update the above team level post. I know I’ve primarily been marking it so far, but I thought it would be best if you added the finishing touch.
Done!
Hi there, im very new here but keen to join a group and track my progress with others. Is there a group for those at lowly level 1 like me?
You can join us at “The Waiting for Low Levelers to Eat Cake Group” if you like. The beginners tend to start with this group like myself.
