2. kanjibox 3h

When I woke up I painted one of my walls in the room using Chalkboard paint. I hope I used it in good amount, because I had only 1l (a small can) and I was afraid it won't be enough, but ended up with almost half a can left, lol.

Later, as yesterday, I continued on kanjibox.net. Getting everything done in kana has taken 45 minutes (2h15min in total knowing hiragana before):

I had a few unusual problems :/ I've chosen a good answer, but there were two options, and...


It's quite confusing! >.<''

I have to say I don't know all katakana... I've learnt how to choose good aswer while not knowing all characters yet! I think I will learn them later by writing them down on paper sheets.

What about kanji? It took a. one hour (I could hve done it in less than 30 minutes, but decided I will read everything in hiragana and katakana again and again to remember better):

I've also completed reading section in about an hour (3.5h in total):

I know at least one reading for almost every kanji in this section, but which kanji has only one? Ehh... I still don't remember east, west, north, while I can choose the answer from proposed without any problems >.<''

Completed kanji JLPT5 section in ~40 minutes, but tbh I mostly looked only on english translation, so it was pointless, easy way (1.5h-2h in total).


What more can I say? Kanjibox has 80 kanji for JLPT5 while nihongoichiban.com lists 103... Hm...

At the end of my day I went back on kanjibox.net and did some kana exercises, I think I have the wrong order of doing things, lol. To get everything green took me a. 1.5 h:
