Any good ideas of how to collaborate? Scott, It would be nice, you could talk about the 5 kanji's you learn every day. Maybe we could join. Hi Heather,

Your methods sound great! Cutting out the colors must really help to link the concept to the word. That's a great way of doing it. I don't really do a lot for every evening. The only thing I _have_ to do is to learn five new Kanji an evening. As long as I can fit that in, I consider that I've "studied". I also try to work through atleast one lesson from one of my souces( guidetojapanese.com, yesjapan.com, japanese for busy people, etc ). Like you said, I try to do my best to really nail down a lesson before moving on. It sounds like you're doing great! I'm jealous of all your hard work. What movies did you get? Any suggestions? If you haven't seen it, "Onibaba" is fantastic old film from 1964 written and directed by Shindou Kaneto. Yay my first trackback! Thanks for the trackback, Heather!
