Season ONE: Dazai Osamu, Daffodil

Day 20

May 10, 2025

More radicals today! I’ll probably reset again and mix these into my hour long practice with the regular lesson beginning on Monday. Or, double up on lessons like I would a workout… will have to ask my coaches for the best bit of advice. Personally, I’m thinking I should re-engage with the main course material at this point, while not overlooking the necessity of the kanji. It’s part of the puzzle, not the entire puzzle.

The other thing I’m noting is the sheer time commitment. Worth paying attention to. Tonight’s wrestling with the eraser and stroke order took almost an hour. And, while I’m hardly racking up the numbers, I AM retaining a lot. That, is of course, good. Finding out how much time I actually need to put into study is half of what I’m trying to figure out, though, so these numbers are informative… keeping at it will be instructive.

Okay! That is all for tonight.

I have met the 20 day mark! Woohoo!

Cheers,
D

P.S. It is perhaps no surpise that 金 was the most difficult kanji to get correct tonight. 😉 Funny…
