....aaaand promptly after learning the kana, I did no work on Japanese. At all. For eight months. Which meant my vocabulary is shot, my kanji is shot, and my kana is shot. I didn't learn much/any grammar, so that's not shot.
So now I get to learn kana again. Don't think it will take as long this time, since I've already retrieved the 46 basic, and will do the voiced characters this evening, plus the compound characters. Tomorrow or Wednesday I should have the basic katakana down, and by Friday I should have the kana again.
My goals haven't changed (read/watch raws, get conversationally fluent someday). I might be erratic and lazy, but I'm not giving up. The language is too much fun, after all. And it's mine, in a way that no other language is. This is something I chose for myself. So let's see it through to the end.
But for now, let's climb the kana mountain again and get our first key back.
edit
It's just before 2000, and I just regained 94% accuracy on the hiragana, all characters, including voiced and compound characters, in random order. Tomorrow I can probably achieve the same even on the harder scripts, but the main task will be getting same or better scores with the katakana, which is way more common than I thought back in August.
Still, not bad for one day's effort. I'm almost halfway to the first key again.
