The early stages.

I am finding that, as I start the early stages of my self-study my hunger for the language is growing ever so slightly. I WANT to do more Kanji. I WANT to start doing sentence reps. I WANT to speed up the process and get to the really fun stuff, like: watching Japanese television, reading Japanese books, and listening to Japanese music, all with some degree of understanding of the language.

However, I know that baby steps are required for things like this.

I did decide to start doing sentences. Mostly because I wasn't spending enough active time engaging with Japanese, but also to speed up the process. I figured that if I run across a kanji that I don't know in the sentences,  then I can learn it there and when I see it in the Kanji lesson, I will already have it mastered. "Two birds with one stone" as they say.
