So I've finally decided to learn Japanese. I should probably start with something easier, but I'm really interested in this language and I think this would make me more willing to learn it than any other language. I hope to learn it to native fluency, to be able to read, write, watch shows and understand them.
Unfortunately, school will be starting in about a week and I'll have no choice but to use English there, but I've tried my best to create an immersion environment at home. I listen to nothing but Japanese music all day, watch Japanese shows/movies, and my browser is in Japanese, though there are some things I can't change such as my OS. I bought "Remembering the Kanji" two days ago. So far I've done 75 kanji, doing 25 per day and using Mnemosyne. I won't be updating this everyday, probably every week or so, but hopefully seeing my progress will help motivate me and make me continue my studies. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Thanks!
I've done 200 kanji so far and I remember about 90+% of them so I'm quite pleased with my progress. I think some of the kanji are a bit hard to remember, but I'm working on that with Mnemosyne. I've also gotten quite used to seeing Japanese all the time even though I don't know how to read it yet. Gmail in English looks a bit strange to me now, heh...It's too bad school starts tomorrow. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

I'm up to 400 kanji now. I'm finding it a little hard to remember some of the recent ones I learned. For some reason I forget some of the stories.
I've written some kanji and put them in my folder so I can look at them when I'm in school. I've also got some on my wall. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

How are you doing outside of kanji, if you don't mind me asking? :)

I'm only focusing on kanji right now, so until I finish I'm not doing too much outside of it. Besides kanji I'm really only listening to/watching a lot of Japanese things. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

I'm up to 635 kanji now. I've decided to bring the book to school since I have free time and I always find myself getting bored. I usually don't take notes but when I did, I took some parts of it in kanji. I also found some new Japanese songs to listen to last night to keep myself motivated.
