Kanji rocks. If I don't get SciLaw I'll probably get Sci/IntStuds, which means I won't have spoken any Japanese for a year before starting classes again. I'm already forgetting most of my Kanji...

we're focusing on kanji recognition, not going to have to write it.

another thing, do you guys have hints for learning the hiragana, cos im finding it hard to remember them all!

Go look at those high school textbooks with the mnemonics, usually the pictures and descriptions (like in Isshoni) help a lot.

Also, practice writing them EVERY DAY. And write out those flash cards and test yourself, that helps a lot too. Don't buy them, WRITE THEM OUT.
