Life In 19x19

Just one more thing: some nice basic Anki files are jlpt4, jlpt34, and jlpt2, which you can download by File->Download->Shared deck, and then searching for "jasw", which gives you the files I've uploaded, called that since most were for classes I've taken at the Japan-American Society of Washington. The 3 files mentioned aren't mine; several years ago they were standard intro files on Anki, but they seem to have disappeared. Jlpt2 isn't really that high, even the old jlpt2, but it was tough for me as a beginner! Set your "max failed cards" to 10, not 20! Heh.
