Comment Responses
Ehhh, um…because of all the projects running recently (Chinese, Hanzi Mnemonics), I’ve decided to perform all comment and email responses on Fridays from now on. It’s an experiment in efficiency. So if it seems like it’s taking long to get back to you, fear not! You’re just the victim of a capricious experimenter.
Posts
In order to run the Hanzi Mnemonics Project to completion at a faster rate, you may or may not see a lower posting frequency (“but Khatz, it’s already low!!!”) from me. I haven’t really decided yet. Maybe I should decide these things before posting them 
. One thing I may do is start writing Japanese versions of extant posts.
OK, we now return to our regular programming.
Definitely like the idea of Japanese versions of already existing posts. Thanks

I agree with Max. As I said before, it would be very nice to read all these posts in kanji-kana version. My opinion is: if you(Khatz) wanted to write japanese versions of the existing posts I really would not mind seeing no more posts until you have finished the japanese ones.
Uh…Khatz, thanks for the reply about the last comment. An even (maybe) quicker question: could you in a most vague idea estimate the time you took to do all those basic 500-1000 Japanese-English sentences?

I am also very much for that idea.

This is probably extremely short notice and you will probably not see it. But related to the Hanzi Mnemonics project they’re doing a visual kanji special on TV right now in Japan on one channel. I don’t know what it is called there I am or you are.

I noticed that you mentioned watching nature documentaries in one of your comments to a post, and was wondering how you managed to get hold of them? Did you buy them off amazon or did you find them somewhere online??

You might check to see if you can get NHK World from your cable/satellite provider. I got to watch it when I was back in the Washington DC area visiting family around Christmas. (Both Comcast and Verizon FiOS had it on their standard digital lineups.) They have a pretty good selection of news, documentaries, etc. like you might expect from a PBS station in the US. The only catch is that half of it is either in English or dubbed in English. It’s very frustrating when you find a Japanese show only to have a booming English voice over top of it. The shows which were originally produced in English do tend to have Japanese subs however. Still, it’s great for the half which is still in Japanese, and you can always turn it off when an English show comes on.

Scout – Unfortunately, I live in the UK and I don’t think that I can get NHK world at all, boo!

Very vague estimate, but at 10-25 sentences per day…maybe 60 days or so? Yeah…that sounds about right.

I was thinking this week about asking you to start writing in Japanese. Your site is generally a waste of my time which could otherwise be spent reading something in Japanese. But it’s really interesting! So if you were to do us the gratuity of giving us something really interesting to read in Japanese…well, I for one would be pretty gracious.
