René Moser (resmo) レネIch lerne nun schon seit einer Weile Japanisch, nicht "viel und schnell" aber "stetig und intensiv".
Nun passiert es mir oft, dass ich ein deutsches Wort sehe und mir instantan das Japanische Wort in den Sinn kommt.
Ich checke dann oft ob es stimmt, oft ein Volltreffer oder ganz knapp daneben, wie eine Silbe falsch oder so.
Bestes Beispiel: letzthin eine Spinne gesehen --> kuma in den Sinn, Spinne wäre aber kumo (wie auch Wolke), kuma ist der Bär. Nun weiss ich 3 Wörter für ewig.
