English is my native, I am hip deep in German which is going well....but my Ukranian... Geesh add some vowels please, and the written script... I cant read it to save myself.
-
The script is pretty easy for me, actually. But, the vowels...
I can't pronounce ь if my life depended on it lol.

I set a goal earlier this year to learn* 750 Japanese Kanji, and I hit that this week. Not the fastest (I see advice that serious learners should be able to get through all the main 2200 in 3 or 4 months), but much better pace than I've gone at in the past. I've slowed back down in recent weeks, but it still feels good to hit that milestone. Now my goal is to finish learning* the commonly used Kanji this year.
- By learn, I just mean be add a flashcard for them, and be able to write them from memory. That's not even attempting to learn readings really, even after I'm over this main hump, there will still be so much to learn always.

Jesus, that's insane. Congratulations! :D You're doing way better than me lol.
I think the pronunciations are pretty important, probably easier but still going to be very hard. GL with it!

Thanks! I probably made it sound better than it is - I came into the year with 250ish already under my belt, so only remembered 500 new so far this year. But it's very gratifying to have a number that keeps going up, that gets closer and closer to a very achieveable target.
Pronunciation will come in time, but my plan is to learn it word by word. Really I already am in a way. But there's no end to exceptions and irregular readings, so it's not as easy to track progress.
What have you been learning and how is it going?
