Today was more of a lazy day, but I still got a lot accomplished! At work, I was crazy productive with the pre-existing kana that I already had a grasp on. I would write them out either on paper, or air-draw them with my finger. I would also try writing different kana out of order, and I was successful. Thus, I have upped my "Real Kana" flash exercises to getting 100 right before finishing up. I have decided to complete this exercise before learning each additional row of consonants. Speaking of which...

The row "h" is completely memorized, and I feel like each row I memorize makes the next one easier... I hope I didn't speak too soon! I felt myself getting cockier with my knowledge, but I have to realize my knowledge is still in it's embryonic phase... even after learning all hiragana and katakana, I still have to learn not only Kanji, but how actual conversations work! Articles, grammar... it's huge. I have to keep swimming, and I'm so happy that I'm still motivated to do so.

I also read up on Dakuten, which is adding little accents to kana that I already know to change it's consonant sound to a different, but still similar, sound... I was relieved upon this realization because that means I only have a little bit more to go before katakana memorization!

Tomorrow, I have a large gap before work, and I expect to get a ton done... and that's not even including the car ride to Hartford on Saturday! I can't wait to get my tools prepared to start crafting. This is really great, and I believe great things will come from this.
