In theory they won’t even exist in the new rewrite as the material will be completely different. So I would speculate that if they are still around they will be written from scratch. I guess it depends on how much of a true rewrite it actually is. Which he’s been a bit hush on.
I may have simply missed it, but where does it say to download Ultimate Verbs list? I`m at about half of Season 5, and I kinda recall (I mean, it was like two days ago but whatever) that about the end of the fourth it said something like “you should have started with the first group of Ultimate Verbs”. I may be remembering it wrong though D: I’m confused.
It sounds like you mean Ultimate Vocab, which is at the beginning of Season 5:
http://www.textfugu.com/season-5/casual-nouns/1-3/#top
The download link is on the the page after that.
In Season 5. The Ultimate Nouns and i-adjectives decks are said to have around 20 words each in them (The decks in Chapters 1 and 2 in Season 5) but they both have under this amount by quite a bit. The second deck, for the i-adjectives, only has 7. I was just wanting to make sure this is intended or perhaps I am to look elsewhere for the appropriate decks? Thanks for any help.
I noticed the same thing; it’s probably just a mistake
Also, not sure if it’s a mistake or if I misunderstood something, but on 5-4, in the example-questions, it answers using の as “To Be” verb. Am I just missing something or is it a mistake?
For example フレディさん は ３０さい の はずだ, shouldn’t it be “だ” instead of “の”?-

It’s not long time ago I were there and I became a little confused too but they mean ultimate verb. Just a moment and I’ll find it for you.
EDIT:
I found it go to the download page (textfugu.com/dl/). Scroll a little down till you find heading called Ultimate Vocab Decks. There you can download the Ultimate Verbs deck.
In you get the same problem as I, about how to only study the cards Koichi tells you to and not all of them, you can read my topic http://www.textfugu.com/bb/topic/individual-groups-in-the-ultimate-verb-dech/.
Yes I misspelled “deck” please bear with me.Sackboy97,
の is a particle that is used when a noun is being used as a modifier.
For example, “私 の ねこ” means “my cat”. Here 私 is being used to modify ねこ.はず can be though of as meaning “expectation”. Saying はずです could just mean “an expectation is”, but that doesn’t convey much information. So, we need to add something to modify the “expectation”. If what we add is a noun, it will be followed by の. In ねこ の はず, the expectation is being modified by ‘cat’ and is there for an ‘expectation of a cat’ or ‘(I) expect (it’s) a cat.’
this word modifies……….this word………….example
noun………………の…….noun……….てつ の はこ an iron box
i-adj…………….(x)…….noun……….くろい ねこ a black cat
na-adj…………….な…….noun……….しずか な へや a quiet room
verb……………..(x)……noun……….ねている いぬ a sleeping dogはず and ３０さい are both nouns and follow the first pattern.

はず and ３０さい are both nouns and follow the first pattern.
Thanks a lot for the explanation; I considered はず more as a verb than a noun so I didn’t understand the use of the の particle in there, now it’s way clearer! :D
I’m going through Season 3 at the moment. I wanted to avoid making a new thread to have this question answered, so on the off chance it’s a mistake then we can add it to the list of errors (Although it’s likely me misunderstanding the lesson!). My question is on the subject of particles. The sentence below comes up during the verbs section within Season 3:
スーパー を でましたか？
I honestly thought that the に particle was going to be used here when asking the question because “でます”, I believe means “to leave/Exit”, I always picture this as moving away, leaving. With there being movement involved shouldn’t the に particle be used here?
EDIT: Thinking about it some more the に particle just wouldn’t sound right, I just don’t understand why. I understand when it comes to eating or drinking why we use the を particle since that action is being performed on something. I guess I might be taking the concept of movement to literally.

Compare the sentences on these two pages.
を 出ます: http://jisho.org/sentences?jap=wo%E5%87%BA%E3%81%BE&eng=
に でます: http://jisho.org/sentences?jap=ni%E5%87%BA%E3%81%BE&eng=
I’ve never seen に出る before. Based on the example sentences in the link above, it has a pretty specific meaning. Something like “leads to [somewhere]“.
I didn’t know where to add this, I didn’t see it referenced elsewhere. But in the level 5 radical deck, the radical for run (走) which is shown properly in the radical page appears as a different kanji. I kind of fixed my card, so I can’t paste here what it looks like. I had to get the right kanji from google translate.
Ah yeah, I remember that being brought up in the past. Think it’s just a typo, but I’ve forgotten what appears in its place.
I’m not 100% sure but..
in http://www.textfugu.com/season-5/sugi/8-4/#top
The sugi form of いかがわしい is said to be いかがわしかすぎる. She even pronounces with the か in the audio so maybe it’s correct anyway.
Pretty sure that’s a typo.
I have just started Season 6 and in one of the sentences of the first review there’s へ as a particle. Did I just miss it or was it not explained before?
The sentence is らいねん 日本 へ いく と 言いました, http://www.textfugu.com/season-6/particle-to/1-9/#top -
