Do you think one could attain decent-ish ability to read Japanese just by studying kanji? Specifically asking because the kanji learnin' service "wanikani" is the single Japanese resource that works best with my brain, but then there are separate resources for grammar and vocab and and and.....
You will get REAAAALLLLLYYY far knowing only the kanji but you're going to have to know hiragana and katakana at some point too. Tofugu, the company that did Wanikani, has two mnemonics-based guides for the kana that are basically Wanikani Lite. They're how I learned the kana and I swear by them.
Here's hiragana: https://www.tofugu.com/japanese/learn-hiragana/
And katakana: https://www.tofugu.com/japanese/learn-katakana/
Hiragana are especially vital to learning kanji; you won't be able to use 99% of Japanese-English dictionaries without them. BUT they're pretty easy and the rules for using them are consistent. You won't have to remember any irregular exceptions for any of them.
I haven't tried it yet, but I've heard really good things about the Crystal Hunters manga series as a fun/low stress way to learning Japanese vocab and grammar. It eases the reader into new concepts and then repeats them throughout the chapter so you remember them. There are free vocab and study guides/lists for each chapter too. Might be worth checking out once you get some kanji and the kana under your belt? The first book is also free.
Official site: https://crystalhuntersmanga.com/
Good luck!!
#asks#Japanese takes like a bajillion hours forever to learn because of the 2200+ kanji lol...........#But it's sooooo consistent grammatically and with the spelling. I love it#Kinda spoiled me tbh. I look at English now and I'm like#'Why can't you be more like this. Why are you such a mess. Get your act together'#And then there's Korean's hangul writing system. It's SO BEAUTIFUL. Actual marvel of linguist engineering#The Japanese lexicon is also a lot smaller than English's too. Which is both a blessing and a curse#Less words = quicker to learn. BUUUUUTTTT less words that mesh well with English. Translation is hard!!!#Holy fuck. Ok so Wikipedia says that the English language has 755`865 words as recorded by Wiktionary#and Japanese has 500`000 according to Nihon Kokugo Daijiten#BUT THEN KOREAN. ACCORDING TO ONLINE DICTIONARY URIMALSAEM (open source dictionary) HAS 1`149`538 WORDS#The biggest lexicon is Tamil's with 1`516`952 unique headwords as recorded by online dictionary Sorkuvai#That's absolutely nuts#I got massively distracted. Enjoy my word vomit tags

Somtimes life means you gotta just sit there and play through the entirety of Venba on your switch in one sitting and just. Feel the shrimp emotions
#Venba#Switch Venba#Venba 2023#Venba game#im biracial indian#and while not Tamil#SO much of this game made me think of both my Indian parent and their relation to their parents#and as someone who does not know what feels like should be one of my mother tongues#it leads me to feeling so often like an imposter in my identity#almost feeling as though I have nothing to show for being Indian other than some features and my parent#and as someone who is admittedly white passing#it leaves such a gap#and I remember awhile ago someone asked why I cant just learn the language for myself#and I had to describe it like#planting a dead seed; while you are still planting it and learning the languge#it does not have room to grow#it cannot flourish#you can learn the words and languge but it will never grow with you instead it will feel almost tacked on#and I also have a learning disability#which heavily impacts my ability in learning new languages#so learning a language is neigh impossible for me#so its safe to say I was crying and just sitting#thinking#after finishing Venba lol

Heyo! Longtime fan of your blog.
I'm considering starting a blog to document my learning Tamil, you got any tips for learning a new script and / or maintaining vocab lists?
Hey! So good to see this ask! 😊 I look forward to your Tamil blog so much!!
Learning a new script:
In general, learning a new script is easy when you know what you're reading. When you don't know the content you're reading is when it gets difficult.
So for scripts, maximise reading things that you know, whether that's simple stories and poems, or ultra-basic vocab lists.
My personal favourite is to read proper nouns, which usually don't change from language-to-language (although they certainly can!). Wikipedia's list of countries for example, or a list of presidents/prime ministers, or your favourite sports team, is a great way to pick up a script fast, especially as you have the flag or portrait as a hint.
One example:
With some careful observation, even I can guess some of these glyphs by dint of knowing what the countries are.
Maintaining vocab lists:
I don't personally like vocab lists for study myself, I mostly use them to show what words are like in a particular language on the blog.
So I don't have any specific tips there, but as a general bit of advice - the prettier and more aesthetic you make your vocab list, the greater the chances you'll come back to it, thereby strengthening your vocabulary. So make it pretty!
-
Once again, I really look forward to your Tamil blog, so ping me when you make it!

saddest news in the world: guy who wants to know about everything is stupid as fuck and can hardly read
#something very evil about god making me as inquisitive as i am#and then throwing my way 50 roadblocks in the paths that most people go to Learn said things#*picks you by the scruff and removes you from school* *gives you reading ocd* *makes you not know tamil so you cant read tamil books abt#indian history* Fuck This Guy In Particular#also the inferiority complex that makes me crumple the second i cannot understand anything for the first time<3 teehee#t#anyways i truly feellike i am rawdogging life.

the vibes of technically having english as ur second language but it being the only one u can *actually* speak due to being born + raised in an english-speaking country
#ali.txt#personal#its like. i cant relate to native speakers because im *not* one#but i *also* cant relate to the second-language speaker experience of learning it in school or later cos i was practically fluent by then#like apparently i spoke in tamil till the age of abt 2 and by the time i was 5 i spoke in exclusively english 😭

Please state what language and accent you speak I'm very interested (also it's for my writing :3c)
#poll#language#language tag#im very interested cause its just so fascinating to know that#every corner in the world there's a guy who speaks enthusiasticly in tamil but his fellas couldn't understand bc his accent is too heavy#and there's probably someone who learn to speak russian and tried to speak with other russians but no one couldn't understand bc the guy who#taught him is accent heavy

idle curiosity: does anyone I know have any recommendations for researching Buddhism from a more practical perspective, as opposed to the often philosophical/secular one presented in a lot of English texts?
#cipher talk#Especially if you like. Grew up with Buddhism#A lot of this is because I'm trying to figure out the historically informed way to write about the way a real group may have practiced#(Therapeutae- Egyptian sect that is currently thought to have a Judeo-Buddhist syncretized religion)#(The information we have from the time says North Indian Buddhists sent emissaries into Ptolemic Egypt and Eastern Rome but we also have#A great deal of evidence that Roman Egypt traded with Tamil peoples and that possibly was a greater influence. Sri Lanka esp is mentioned)#But also I would like to learn in general
