I started Hebrew, which is why I’ve been dead on this blog, but I don’t think I can ever properly convey to you guys the sheer cultural whiplash of spending years learning Japanese from Japanese teachers and then trying to learn Hebrew from an Israeli
Japanese: you walk into class already apologizing for being alive
Hebrew: you walk into class, the teacher insults you and you are expected to insult her back
Japanese: conjugates every single verb based on degree of intended politeness, nevermind keigo and honorifics
Hebrew: Someone asked my teacher how to say “excuse me” and she laughed for several seconds before saying we shouldn’t worry about remembering that since we’ll never need to say it
Japanese: if you get one stroke wrong the entire kanji is incomprehensible
Hebrew: cursive? script? fuck it do whatever you want, you don’t even have to write the vowels out unless you feel like it
Japanese: the closest thing there is to ‘bastard’ is an excessively direct ‘you’ pronoun
Hebrew: ‘bitch’ translates directly

Recently I realised that writing in diagonally striped boxes helped improve my kanji writing, it lets me practice with more accurate strokes
there are no downloads online that i can find right now so:
here
is a pdf of the original I made with a motivational quote ‘継続は力なり’ (continuation is power)
with 5 rows of 4x16 boxes
and here
is a pdf of a plain version without the quote
with 6 rows of 4x16 boxes
(sorry i can’t provide other formats as it ruins the table)
頑張って and 加油
practice makes writing neater & will also enforce your memory of the characters
