Despite the loss of Marie and Takeshi, I feel like you gained a more practical narrative - based on the strong house (no messing around), and the pen comes in at number 7 (with an adjective!). Whereas I’m pretty sure you can finish Genki without getting around to a strong house. And I never found out what colour the pen was.

This is very true We can’t start learning unless we know the house is strong (might crumble beneath us while we’re dilly dallying around), then after we know that, we can get down to the real business (what color the pen is).

You have very pretty handwriting both in Japanese, English and Hindi

Thank you!! I enjoy handwriting a lot. Before I started language learning I would always imagine how awesome it would be to write diaries in different languages so other people can’t read them (or, so other people open them up and are impressed by how smart and studious I am), but then I started learning Japanese and the road to handwriting proficiency is much longer It’s nice to be able to already write in a target language with not too much extra effort.

That would be awesome to be able to do.
I used to make up symbols and stylised code fonts to write these in. I can decipher them now but can’t write them any more for the life of me Now I can still barely write my day to day in Japanese if I wanted to write a diary.

Oh, yes, I did this too! I felt so cool writing in my own cipher When I was a kid and had to go to church, I would use my cipher to write stuff on the church bulletin so whoever was sitting next to me couldn’t see what I was writing. /soggylore
