when I study flashcards I'm like "oh yeah senshu that means a sports fighter!", completely forgetting how English is supposed to work.
so then when the card flips over "oh yeah the word for sports fighter was athlete, there is a word for that"

We've been calling them 'words.'
But here's the thing: that's not quite tadashii.
A kotoba isn't a word.
They're something else entirely-
a role unique to Japanese gengo.
And there's no eigo no kotoba that surus it seigi.
So from ima on, wareware tsukau the hontou no kotoba: kotoba.

r.e. learning Japanese I have watched my first 12-ep anime with Japanese subtitles
Still a long road ahead. I'm aiming for JLPT N2 in two years (and semi seriously considering moving to Japan lul)
Gonna keep up TV watching and try and grind kanji / vocab to the point where I can read books easier.

Oh hey look it's the full song from the Dungeon & Television opening: www.youtube.com/watch?v=PU0M...
From it I learned the word 礎 which has a nice ring to it ("ishizue").

I have two new-thanksgivings resolutions:
1. Bicycle more
2. Learn more Japanese
My friend has peer pressured me into learning by watching videos with Japanese subtitles and that's going pretty well since I had been neglecting listening. I've watched 7 episodes of precure this week.

Realizing that more modern display technology like OLED, high frame rates, and high resolutions can lead to higher fidelity CRT emulation than budget LED screens has given me complex feelings.

Just drove 150 miles without a speedometer and a check transmission light on.

I have resolved to learn Japanese kanji. This is fairly intimidating since currently reading anything without furigana is very slow going, but I shall persevere.
