I hope you like the Subtle Knife, I really did.

I lived in Japan for a year and found Kanji impossible to remember. I memorized certain symbols (like those for the city where I had to get off the train), certain food items and sometimes I could tell if a subject was "water" or "mountain" from the simple ones I remembered. But it's an incredibly difficult system to learn even when immersed in it. I wish I had gotten better with both the spoken and the written, but alas, I could only learn so much in a year! Good luck with it. Let me know when you're ready to translate a short story or two!
