I miss Yaki-niku (damn diet for cutting down on my meat consumption)

[peet]

mmmmm .. burnt remains.

reminded me of a kanji-a-day perl script I used to have on a website though:
http://www.rikai.com/perl/Home.pl?bean=KanjiOfTheDay&view=about

Otaku, you could slap that somewhere on Englipedia if people like that sort of thing.

@Peet, these two boxes aren't good enough for you?

Otaku, I will put the reference in for you.

Thanks for posting Otaku, I am a visual learner. Although I knew the ones above, I never really thought about the images behind them. I guess because I usually see them typed in some form so they look much simpler than the images they represent.

[moolooman]

And I am all about learning the radicals at the moment. http://www.textfugu.com is the best $20 a month I have spent in relation to Japanese langauge learning.

Speaking of which, I once wrote down all the bushus JHS school students study in their Japanese classes:

[Otaku]

Hardcore!

Used to be, until I started building Englipedia. I forgot pretty much all of them now except a couple.

Hitsu 必

Sweet! How that kanji was kanarazu was just so random. Not anymore! Thanks Otaku, now I know. And knowing is...

[jessen100]

i have this book too.

[Otaku]

i have this book too.

It's a great book, eh? Breaks down all 1,945 kanjis a student learns by the time they graduate HS. Sad though, really. Students only are required to know less than 2,000 kanji to graduate HS? Not much of a vocabulary.

...guess that's why everything in this country is either "sugoi!" "oishii!" "umaii!" and/or "kawaiiii!"

[Otaku]

Hi 飛

[Otaku]

Shoku 色

Bet you'll never look at the color kanji the same...

[Richard_BenoitEnglipedia Drone]

Nice! Nothing like sex to help a guy remember kanji!

[Jeimuzu]

Blimey, seems I best get on with learning my Kana as this Kanji malarky looks rather interesting.

[Otaku]

Jo 女

[himitsu]

I wonder if that is meant as sexist as it sounds..

FYI I just cleaned the thread of a number of off topic posts.

[jessen100]

does he mean the posts pointing out that the "one-a-day" kanji thread doesnt(wasnt) get(ting) at least one kanji per day?

I don't know.

Shin 臣

[moolooman]

臣 is very much like 巨 which I have learnt recently.

臣 is very much like 巨 which I have learnt recently.

It actually references that kanji you mention in the quote. :)
