Basic Hiragana, part I
I decided to grab hiragana by the horns and have a go at it, learning a few of the phonetic characters at a time. Figured five or so characters every couple of days might work, but I'll see how I do.There's 46 basic hiragana syllables (shown on the right), and I started from the top with A (あ), I (い), U (う), E (え), and O (お). So far, あ has been a bitch to write, the last swirl never turns out right. I think it's partially because of my otherwise pretty sloppy handwriting; sometimes I'm having a hard time reading what I wrote myself (which probably means I should have opted to become a doctor).
I don't know how far my brother got in his studies, but when I get about that far (in terms of the reading and understanding), I'll drag him along. It'll be more fun doing this together with someone. (Back to school, let's compare notes!). :)
(I had a hard time figuring out how to get the Japanese characters to display properly, at first they only came up as ?'s for me, but then I realised the database was set for Swedish chars... Silly thing.. You may have trouble seeing the chars properly unless you have Japanese support installed).

Every so often I start the demo version, but I just don't have the persistence to learn every day. You seem to.

I hadn't heard of Slime Forest before, but I'll be sure to look it up! Console Style RPG's are the BEST, even though quality are lacking these days (I miss the SNES era).
