Kanjitastic

My day has been average. Two Japanese lessons today. We started a new chapter, though it is not that interesting. It is not something new, more a better, subtler way of saying something that we already know in certain contexts. I prefer completely new constructions, as at least that way you feel like you are getting somewhere. In the afternoon, we did another composition. This time the title was “My dream.” I think it was meant as “what do you want to be when you grow up?” It was quite fun, though I want a topic on which I can write a lot with as much different grammar as possible. I feel I have not been able to showcase my language skills properly yet.

Back at the house, I have done a lot of programming today. My little kanji tester is coming along nicely, and the kanji in its database now correspond to the ones that we have learnt from our books. I shall have to dedicate more time to inputting the rest of them. I think I will leave out some of the unrequired fields for now, and maybe go back later to input them if I can be bothered! I like my program, though, and it should be useful in helping to learn and retain my kanji knowledge. Now for the vocabulary and grammar aspects!

That has been my day. There was also some food eating involved, but that was not very interesting. Tonight, we are going to watch Finding Nemo, at Drummond's request. Mainly because Sawako is round.
