Oct 28, 2022 at 12:16 comment added Alain Dubois What I wrote is very pertinent to the kanji question. I have disabilities relating to remembering what people have said. I have a good visual memory though. I use mnemonics. Kanji is good for this, as it has meaning. If there is only hiragana, I don't see where one word begins or ends. It's like English with no spaces between the words. Japanese scripts are excellent to break up a sentence visually to make sense. The oral class didn't use kanji - as Chinese students in class see the kanji's meaning - yet can't pronounce it. As I see kanji, Japanese words/sounds will come after the meaning.
Oct 28, 2022 at 11:50 comment added Alain Dubois Thanks to people responding to my question. I just noticed the answers - as I'm visually impaired and forgot to scroll down further. I didn't really think police would step in. I'm concerned with Japanese youth suicide and restriction placed on people who can't 'conform' to expectations. I quit my Japanese language class when I wrote this question. Perhaps the native language and cultural misunderstandings are a problem. The previous non-Japanese teacher understood my medical situation. I got a high grade, doing the test late in the day. 日本語の先生は私の個別の状況を理解できず、形式を変えてしまいました。
