Huh. I’ve been summoned.
I have around a year and half. I can read hiragana relatively well, most katakana too with a few ones that I get confused with, and me no like kanji.
I agree with Taln on this, it’s rote memorization. Or context clues, like when he said something in the counting thread I kinda guessed that two really complicated kanji were the work study but I was not 100% sure.
