I met up with Takako and her friend Azusa today for some high speed chat (Takako) and Japanese practice (Azusa). Japanese people tend to be kind and encouraging when it comes to foreigners' attempts at mangling/learning their language, but sometimes you have to put your progress (or lack thereof) into perspective. Japanese schoolchildren learn 10 kanji a day from their first day of elementary school. I know about 50 kanji. This puts me at the same reading level as a 6 year old after one week of elementary school.
I suspected I wasn't studying enough.
