I am not going to push anymore but I seem to get slower in studying Nihonggo on my own while trying to translate a manga with no furigana.

It ain’t my fault the manga I ordered in yesasia is without Furigana. I didn’t know. I took the challenge though, thinking this would also aid my practice on Kanji.

But nooooo, its frustrating to not continously progress everytime I try to translate a page. I get stuck on a kanji I can’t seem to find in my dictionaries. And I loose a lot of time that could be dedicated on learning grammar structures and vocabularies, not to mention new kanji characters.

This is REALLY depressing me.

So I think I have to lay of the manga for a while and concentrate on studying the neccessities first beforer I tackle the comic again. Then again, I have a manga coming up in a few weeks. Thanks to Licorne’s help, these have furigana. That definitely would make my life easier. ^^

Do you think my plan is okay? Am I on the right track? I really need someone to tell me what to do on this issue. I can’t seem to make up my mind. >_>

I don’t know if staying in Powerbooks is a good or a bad thing. It’s good with all the book treasures you can find in there but hell it takes a lot out of your wallet though. I left the store yesterday with my face probably looking like this T______________________T .

But no, I can’t complain afterwards with the book I bought. Japanese students are thought Kanji by continously making them write the characters until it is embedded in their head. But for non-Japanese students like me, this could be boring and tedious.

With this book, one view contemporary visuals along with textual memory aids - mnemonics - to easily remember them. This book also holds the titles as the Winner of the International Typographic Design Award and HOW International Design Award.

And truth be told, I tried memorizing the characters last night, and the pictures sure worked!

I am so loving this book. I scanned a page below so you could how the interior looked like. For Kanji students like me, this book is a MUST!
