Luckily, S. You have likely heard this acronym before, and may brush it aside as nothing but fluffy motivational gibberish. That would be a mistake. So what does a S.

If you ever catch yourself getting overwhelmed by the perceived immensity or distance of your final kanji goal and we all do once in a while , just take a breath and remember to take things one kanji at a time.
