So I read that for N1 you need to know about 10,000 words, and it made me wonder how many words I know in English, for comparison. I wish I had a photographic memory. Some people are just good at picking up on languages.

As for Kanji reading, I only know a few. I just learned (memorised) shima and tori the other day because they are almost the same, save for one radical ( - shima - tori, and for bonus confusion - torii). I figure if I can at least learn to speak it, then I can ask what something says when I'm there.

I know both Hiragana and Katakana. That's not an issue for me (). Good to know about the book. I mentioned about Tae Kim. His site is actually really good. He just jumps straight into Kanji and it can be kind of discouraging.

PS - WP was great. I'm actually going back... I need to finish off Ice Age FTP because they have odd achievement numbers and it's messing up my OCD.
