Just twenty-four hours to go!
Just got my book in today!
That makes me think: what timezone are we talking about?
The Beginner Bookclub typically schedules around JST/JDT, so that probably carried over to this group.
やった! やった!
Aha, this is the step I was asking about. So you did it manually…
I actually already have a list of all the kanji by WaniKani level (I made it for my Big Japan Place Names kanji thingy) - not the vocab, though, but I could easily apply the same steps I used to make the kanji list.
Really like the look of the art and layout of the book so I reckon I might try and get at this, will likely have to grab an e-book at this point.
Boy do I regret searching for ‘pussy detective’ though
Yep, brute force. Or transcription practice, depending on your point of view.
This is so great, thank you so much!
This is most helpful and highly motivating in a “will be regularly doing new lessons and reviews so I can grab some more percentage points as we go” kind of way - thank you so much, @ShawnPCooke
Gah! Timezones! I just didn’t think about that. Good thing I saw this, or I’d be a day behind, before even starting!
I hope you guys dont mind a lot of questions, or at least that I have the google doc up 100% of the time. Im level 3 now but still finishing up the last few lvl 2 lessons. So… less than 20% through the lvl 10 “requirement”
don’t worry, @PomfPomf, we are quite a few WK youngster’s in this bookclub by now - let’s help each other out and ask a lot of stuff. I won’t feel stupid if you don’t, deal?
By the time we get to the second story, you should know a lot more kanji.
I’m working on level 2 still and I know there’s at least 2 more in here right now around the same level besides you and me, prob many more.
Tbh it’s gonna be real hard, but I suspect once we get a few of the major ones down it won’t be as bad as we fear.
That’s my hope at least lol
Before we start later on: What’s our page count? Like in the vocab spreadsheet where characters are described on p.4 (my bookwalker e.g. version starts with the cover as page 1 which makes character description page 6, so just want to make sure)? And do we start with the cover/table of contents or jump right into the story?
Either way I’m super-excited by now
Oh and to all those who like me created a bookwalker account for this: remember to use your bonus coins before the end of July if you haven’t already (used mine for part 2 of this series, so I only had to pay around 4€)
yay my book has also been shipped and is estimated to arrive on thursday. A bit late, but no problem to finish the chapter before the next chapter will start
So just curious; would it be a good idea to move things into a Slack or Discord channel? It might be easier to stay a little more organized using one of those things.
Of course, this forum works as well, but I’m just throwing some suggestions out there.
I was wondering about discord too. Would offer voice chats people can use to work on speaking things too if they wanted to make a group reading channel and read aloud. Id love to listen in personally if that happened.
I live for discord. So down for this
