Pimsleur Japanese II: personal notes

[Cal Colman]

I've been grinding my way through the Pimsleur Japanese Level 2 (second edition).

The initial dialogues are super fast/fluent. I've been painstakingly making handwritten notes on the dialogues in the beginning. It's a good start. They are hand-written at the time. I can scan them. Maybe someone can type them up, or we could share notes... thanks - Caleb

Are you unable to input Japanese text? (Is your computer not set up for it?)

Thanks. 1-2 hours daily, just understanding... such rapid, real life dialogue... then Romaji and Hiragana... I'm not ready to totally deal with keyboarding, since I'm working on speaking, listening, comprehension, grammar, etc. Working on one Pimsleur per day. If you do it right, it's hard and fast. Best to do it by rote, then learn the orthography and grammar outside of the lesson.

Inputting Japanese text isn't a big deal if you already know the kana.
