Aaah, ワプロ馬鹿... Both my girlfriend and I have the same problem, and she is Japanese. There's a writing game for the Nintendo DS that I've had some success with, but it's really hard to make time to practice writing. I've tried keeping some of my daily notepad-jotting in Japanese, but most of it is at too technical of a level for my lousy writing skills to keep up.
Let me know if you come up with anything good.
And I know exactly what you mean by people who think that RTK is the end-all be-all of learning kanji. While a lot of the stories and mnemonics might be useful, and knowing meanings is genuinely useful, it takes a lot more than that to master the language.
Do you work in Japan? I'm heading back to Tokyo in January, and would love to meet up with some HN people there.
- harisenbon 17y agoI work in Nagoya, at a small but apparently very well-connected Digital Media company called NanoOPTMedia ( http://www.nanooptmedia.jp http://www.nanooptmedia.jp ). I mostly do their webprogramming and system creation works. I'm the only foreigner working here, so when I started it was pretty sink-or-swim. I've done some of the DS games as well (100万 漢字検定 and.. some others..) but they never seem to stick with me because as soon as I finish using them, I'm back to typing on the computer and 馬鹿ing my ワープロ... or is that ワープロing my 馬鹿? Either way it's not a path I'm happy with. Where do you work in Tokyo? I was just there for a cakePHP conference (but that's a post for another time)
