Sometimes it’s frustrating. I’m learning it because I love anime and want to be able to engage with the culture, but all the shounen I-belive-in-my-friends inspiration can’t help you when you’re faced with a list of 1000 kanji to learn before you’re at the reading level of a five-year-old. Sometimes I wish I’d picked a language with a writing system that made sense.
But then once in a while something comes along that makes it all worth it.
Now this. This is the kanji for ability.
It’s a nice enough kanji, has some radicals of its own but isn’t too full of itself. Learning all about it isn’t too important, what you need to know is that this is the character for ability.
Now.
This.
This here is the kanji for bear. As in the animal, not the verb.
That’s right. According to the Japanese language, a bear is ability
ON LEGS

Beep boop! I look for accidental haiku posts. Sometimes I mess up.
