    I can’t ignore my Canadian homies lol. Can’t believe I just said homies

    Did you actually say homies? You didn’t just write it?

    ようこそ!
    Oh I’m really sorry it took me so long time to welcome you. It was just because I was so incredible overwhelmed with happiness.
    Don’t worry about you English. English is also my second language (my mother tongue is Danish). The people here comes from everywhere in the world. I actually think it is the most of the people here who come from other places; don’t take me on the word.
    I know what you talk about when you mention the bunny Island. Did you know there’s a car Island too? Koichi (the author of TextFugu) has been there. He put it on youtube. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qVxpPggJMAY

    To me, it did improve my open-mindedness, intelligence (I’m still pretty dumb though) and my memory.

    幸運を祈ります。

    Let’s take one extra look at the sentence, please.
    何をしようとしてたのか忘れました。

    It’s the する. する in te-form is して. する in ta-form is した. What is there both a た and a て after し? Is it する in te-ta-form?

    Yes, the complex kanjis are made of simple kanjis. All kanji is made up by something called radicals, which is something that looks simpler than kanji. The way TextFugu will teach you kanjis is by first teaching you the radicals, then the common kanjis made up of those radicals.
    If you want to learn stroke order too (many people (including me) choose to omit this, because they only rarely write something by hand), then just learn the stroke order for the radicals instead of stroke order for kanjis.

    When I’ve talked about languages with a Turkish friend of mine, I’ve found out that Turkish grammar is much closer to Japanese grammar than English grammar is. E.g. there’s nothing called “definite nouns” in Japanese.

    The community here is super nice, so don’t worry too much about grammar mistakes. My English grammar is bad too.

    幸運を祈ります。

    ようこそ!
    When I read you’ve used Tae Kim I thought the beginning would be a little boring.
    In general I would say TextFugu is more motivating than Tae Kim.
    Btw.. I love you because you are an artist.
    If you think it is too slow and you got the surplus, you can always import a few kanjis to you anki deck in advance and study a little harder. That’s what I did, and now I’m very glad I did it.
    幸運を祈ります。

    している is a conjugation of する. It means that the thing you do is something you do and continue doing, instead of just an instant action. Instead of explaining the whole grammar point, I’ll redirect you to this article which explains it very nicely. http://www.guidetojapanese.org/learn/grammar/teform

    The のだ thing: When you want to say something explanatory you can add a の in the end instead of です/だ.
    「今は忙しいの。」 = “The thing is that (I’m) busy now.”

    The の can sound a little soft (feminine) so you’ll often hear people say のだ instead. Sometimes you’ll see a んだ instead, probably because it is slightly easier to say.
    Then I just wonder why it is corrected to のだ/んだ because I remember reading that you don’t use だ in questions, just の.

    When asking for an explanation in English you often ask “isn’t it (blah blah blah)?” You can actually do the same in Japanese. 「blah blah blah んじゃない?」
    「先生んじゃない?」 = “Isn’t he a teacher?”

    You can also read about the のだ thing on this link under the heading “The 「の」 particle as explanation” http://www.guidetojapanese.org/learn/grammar/nounparticles#part5

    Unfortunately, I can’t help you with the second one.

    ようこそ フィリブさん。
    Glædelig jul. Var TextFugumedlemskabet en julegave? Anyway, vi er glade for at have dig ombord.
    At lære japansk vil helt sikker ændre dit liv. TextFugu er en rigtig god at lære fra, Koichi (forfatteren) er rigtig god til at holde en motiveret, ihvertfald indtil omkring slutning, men der synes jeg også at man er så godt inde i det, at man ikke har ligeså meget brug for det længere.
    Btw I’m also from Denmark.
    幸運を祈ります!

    What I know is that EtoEto Fugu will be released in 2015, Etoeto Kappa will also be released in 2015 and EtoEto Kuma will available early in 2015. I’m as impatient as you.

    ようこそ Alyse. I’m also allergic to wheat.
    I would love to help you a little closer to your goal, so here’s a little fact: Allergy is called アレルギー in Japanese.

    One thing I wonder is just, how much do you think the current version of TF covers of the upcoming EtoEto Fugu? It won’t take a long time before I’ve finished TF do you think It’ll be possible easily to jump into EtoEto when it gets released?
    I really hope so.

    Hi.
    I actually don’t think Koichi have forgotten TF, he’s just busy I think. I remember he posted something some time ago on WaniKani about he was rewriting the whole thing, TextFugu, WaniKani and Etoeto. It should end up becoming something that can teach people from the absolutely beginning to a pretty advanced level in the end.
