Hey all-

I thought I was doing something different by studying Japanese, but I guess I'm just like everyone else. I also speak Italian, French and I can fake my way through Spanish (maybe I know more Spanish than I think).

Anyway, wanted to ask how you Japanese students are doing with your Kanji? I really like James W. Heisig's book "Remembering the Kanji: A complete course on how not to forget the meaning and writing of Japanese characters". Anyone else using it? I got lazy with it after a while, but now that I'm currently visiting Japan I'm finding that I've maintained more than I thought.
