I have a question:
does Maru is not applied to KA, SA and TA? because you only used it on HA.

To tell you the truth I don't know a whole lot of Kanji. I've only memorized how to write about 70 and I could probably read about 20 more. although that might seem like a lot, I should know over 150 by now (According to my sensei lol).
I've been taking Japanese in High school for three years now.
It helps a lot when you get provided worksheets and have deadlines/tests. Makes it harder to be lazy. I would never be able to make myself learn Kanji on my own. ^.^

Whaat?? You can choose Japanese in Highschool? o___O That's so unfair, I wish that was possible where I live. Then I would have had a far better basis - when I started Japanese at uni, I knew next to nothing about the language and in the 1st week felt so hopeless xD.
Can you converse well in Japanese now? ^^ I always wonder how long it takes people until they think they can properly express themselves in Japanese.

I can't converse really but I know enough to make for some funny conversations.
I'm at the level where I know how to get my point across but still get lost very fast. lol

Last time exchange students came over I had a problem where I would pick up all their habits like saying "nani" and "un" (Instead of "uh huh") and once they left I had to reprogram my mind back to English.
Even a short week of Japanese exposure can do a lot to your brain! lol

Yeah I know what you mean, haha! But it's nice to notice that you learn new things quickly once you're around Japanese speking people ^^.

Oh boy! I'm just thinking how I'm going to get through Katakana!
But I suppose if a lot of people decide they want Kanji I might be able to convince myself to do it lol

Well people don't need as much guidance for hiragana and katakana, they aren't that complicated and they're phonetic, which is rather comprehensive for our european minds. While a whole lot of people might have troubles with kanji because they're such a mess that you won't even know where to start XD
Good luck with it all!

Your right, lessons 6 seems to be missing. Did I forget to do it?
Oh dear I guess I better fix that.
I'm sorry I've been so lazy with the lessons lately. I'll try to get lesson 6 fixed today and then I'll promise to get 8 up after the Christmas holiday is over.

Exactly what do you mean by "help recognize"?
These lessons are only for introducing all the characters. Afterward I'm going to included a more in depth couple of lessons that include practice and maybe a little grammar to start ya off. It'll be fun ^.^

Like in Lesson 2, where you had a reading section and readers would give the romanization.

Ah I see! Yea I kinda stopped doing that didn't I
I'm sorry my lessons are being so inconsistent.
That's because my ideas started kinda changing right about there.
Right now I'm making a workbook that will have practice problems assigned to specific lessons. I
At the moment I'm just trying to get the lessons out. When I'm done I'll go back and change things so that there's practice problems are included in the lessons too.
