finished hiragana 1 and 2 before bed, 3 and 4 just now after waking up

that's all the hiragana skills on duolingo x.x that was a lot

i'm gonna cool off on it for now, come by later and do some practices

dunno if i should forge ahead on the intro lessons tonight? probably going too fast

made myself a hiragana and katakana chart to help memorize characters https://computerfairi.es/media/tByBdfYiqU9Kq1rVMrA

i think i'm close to being able to read all hiragana without looking it up, still haven't made much of an effort with katakana

meanwhile duolingo makes zero effort to teach you grammar and any actual language beyond forced memorization

@squirrel this is my main beef with duolingo, it's sort of like, tourist phrasebook level pedagogy

I wish I could give you my old Japanese textbooks! I majored in Japanese in college :3
