Methods – Games & Kanji

Proving the process: Games and Kanji goes Spanish!

Most of my time spent outside of work is spent playing games in Japanese. Let’s give Spanish a run for its money.

Is revision necessary when learning languages?

My methods have never been 100% orthodox and sometimes they’ve just been downright weird, so where does typically academic studying and revision play a part in all of this?

Interview with Nam

I’ve known Nam for some time now. We never spent much time learning languages in our youth but when we found we were both learning Japanese it sparked a long, language based partnership.

The week after Japan

My passion for Japanese has run strong for around a quarter of my life. I have always loved the Japanese culture and language but rest assured, now I’m obsessed.

Language fear and putting games on hold

The last thing you want to do while taking in any entertainment media is missing parts of the content, which is easily done if you are not at a sufficient level.

Grammar and how it’s learnt

Vocabulary in many cases can feel like a crutch, “if I don’t get the meaning of the sentence I can just learn more words” and yet, even with more vocabulary the meanings are not instantly evident.

Lists and Wrote Memorization

There is a reason that I hold this style of learning so dear in my heart, and it’s why I always head straight for this style of content in any game I pick up.
