Running in Circles

おはようございます！

I need to start adding simple vocabulary words to my anki decks. I had trouble coming up with the correct spelling for that common greeting. Looking through my IME I saw it written a few other ways お早う御座います being one of them,  but that involves two kanji I haven't learned yet, so I stuck with hiragana.

Fairly sure that kanji is completely wrong for that.

とにかく。。。

I am caught in a rather frustrating kanji loop, where after all my repetitions I haven't the energy or inclination to add more to my deck. This has the unfortunate side effect of making me hesitant to start sentences.

How do I tackle a sentence if it's comprised of half a dozen kanji I've never seen before, let alone the parts that make it up. Stroke order is a mystery, meaning is a mystery. If I can't accurately reproduce these on paper with my horrible handwriting, then I don't think I can learn anything in the long run.

So, I have to wait until I atleast get all my general use kanji to the point where I don't hesitate on stroke order. Meaning, reading, and everything else can wait. I just want to be able to reproduce it.

Notable words I cemented down through listening are the fairly similar

時間と事件 and when to use 時間 and 「何」時 in reference to time, o'clock, and hours as a count.

As a result of my last post and looking up past tense of 行く and reading at the same time that 言う takes the same form, I've been hearing these alot, just learning it that one time to write 「昨日はわたしが釣り行った。」I hear that conjugation everywhere, so I've been doing alot more heavy reading in the middle section of my dictionary as opposed to vocabulary and reading practice 「れんしゅ?」


I'm not entirely sure if I have the kanji right for じけん so I'll have to look that up later.

Let's see if I can't make this circle a bit more elliptical.

それじゃ～
