Since the last kanji characters challenge we changed a lot of things. First off: now the winner will be chosen using Memrise courses (the person with the most points wins), another huge change is that we decided to not choose kanji that we like, but to learn every kanji as Japanese native kids do! So, we started using this amazing website to search for the new items that will be learning.
New changes are awesome, however, there are bad news as well! We weren’t able to learn all of the kanji (yes, neither Syberg, nor 13neko) in the very first list, we are sorry that it isn’t possible to post results… 😦 But that made us make agreed promise: We will post the legal results of all new competitions that are going to take place in future!
With those two big changes and one huge promise, we start the second challenge!
