Learning Kanji

Posted on 2023-04-21 [Friday] by Jay Jay
Reply

I mentioned to a friend that I thought it was a romantic idea to learn Kanji, and I would very much like to, but I just don’t have time. My friend recommended the Genki Textbook. So this note is just for the record. When it comes to learning Japanese I suppose no one will be surprised to know that there are a lot of options.

Bicameral mentality

This is interesting if you haven’t read it before: Bicameral mentality. The idea is that maybe we used to experience conscious language and thought in a different way, with a commander and a follower kind of setup.
