i was curious about the kanji meanings of the japanese word 太陽 (taiyou, meaning sun), so i looked it up

and folks, "thick sunshine" is changing my life

duolingo is teaching me some very ominous phrases

also apparently the checkmarks they put in the boxes are an ::after pseudo, because when i made my injected checkbox longer to turn it into a button this happened before i fixed the style

i really like this kanji

thank god

made a decent sized music for the first time in what feels like a million years

100 days is a little over three months. i've been using duolingo for just that long, learning japanese with basically no prior knowledge, and i've been amazed at how much progress i've made

in that timespan, i went from being vaguely scared by japanese writing to being able to read kana and some basic kanji (kinda slowly) with no help. it's an indescribably nice feeling when i see a piece of text in japanese and can actually understand what it says

i'm also starting to get to where i can understand a spoken sentence without having it written down or repeated to me

learning a language is really worth the effort. i can't stress enough how much that sense of progress has offset what's otherwise shaping up to be a kind of rotten year for me
