心霊探偵八雲 vol. 2

I finished 心霊探偵八雲 vol. 2 ! 

I really enjoyed this volume. This series combines two of my favorite genres (ghost and detective stories), which I absolutely love!

The writing style is quite easy to understand which makes reading really pleasant. I never felt like I had to struggle through the text, so it was easy to get immersed in the story and just enjoy the mystery.

I’m definitely looking forward to reading the next volume!

My advice on Remembering the Kanji (RTK)

Image
Before I share my learning routine and advice for RTK I would like to write about my personal experience first: When I started to learn Japanese, kanji seemed incredibly difficult. They were just a chaotic combination of strokes to me. Then I came across the book Remembering the Kanji (RTK) by James W. Heisig. Volume 1 presents a total of 2.200 kanji (including most of the jōyō kanji ).  I used the german version of Remembering the Kanji The beginning was promising. I easily learned the first few hundred kanji. This experience was amazing. I never thought that this could be possible. But then I made the mistake of proceeding too fast . I saw forum posts of other RTK users who claimed that they “finished“ RTK in 3 months or even less. This motivated me and I tried to learn 25 kanji a day. Even though it was difficult to create memorable stories for this amount of kanji every day I moved on. After my first try to learn kanji with RTK, I forgot a great part of it after I "finished...

How I learned my second language by accident

While trying to learn Japanese I struggled most of the time. Looking back, I've spend so much time searching for promising methods, read about them or watched videos from different language learners who claimed that their method would be the most effective — instead of actually learning Japanese.  Even after knowing so much about language learning, I still didn't know how to use this knowledge to learn Japanese. I knew the theory, the recipe. I tried some methods and combined different parts that seemed useful but I never felt satisfied with the results. Switching so often between different methods wasn't beneficial. I always asked myself if there's an even better method out there. With the "right" method, I thought, I would be able to learn Japanese the "right" way, like the other language learners I saw on the internet. Being not able to really make progress with one of these popular methods, I had the impression that I did something wrong a...

My first impressions of『ひと』

Image
  I've read the first chapter and would like to share a few thoughts in this post. The first chapter introduces the protagonist, his difficult life situation, his past and several other characters. Apart from that, there are no special or dramatic events in this chapter. At this point, I'm not sure what this story is about or what to expect. I think this will change with the next chapter. I like how the story is told. It starts with the focus on the protagonist and introduces gradually more and more details about the protagonist and other characters in a natural way. It’s quite pleasant to read so far. Although nothing special happened during this chapter, I never felt bored. It's interesting to learn more and more about the protagonist and I'm curious how his life will change in the next chapters.  The level of difficulty is okay. I have to look up a bunch of words and don't understand every detail but most of the time I can follow the story well. Only scenes with ...
