Μαθαίνω ελληνικά. - I am learning Greek.

I am at the point of being able to read Greek, introduce myself, ask and respond to “how are you” and how to say “I am still learning Greek can we speak English”. haha

    Kanji first sounds pretty good to me. You didn’t feel like it worked well?

    I went through Genki I with Kanji mostly sidelined, and I felt like I wished I’d known Kanji better first. Having to look up how to write every character is a drag, and I don’t think using kana is a much better alternative.

    You say you could read but not understand… I feel like that’s a step up from the reverse! (That being, “I’d totally understand thus if I could read it”) And I find that learning Kanji now is making it way faster to remember vocab.

    I guess the lesson is just that it’s all important, skipping or putting off any of it doesn’t work so well.
