Oh hi!
I don’t think people are on the forums much these days. I used TextFugu a lot like 6 years ago, but I’ve been waiting for updates for so long I’ve abandoned it. I’m glad the team offered you a discount, and while I agree it’s a good program for beginners, the community here is pretty much dead, since new people can’t join anymore. Almost everyone’s found other places to learn.
If you’d like a vibrant forum community I suggest you join the community at wanikani. WaniKani itself is also a good program, but it’s subscription based. It’s based off of TextFugu’s kanji learning program so it’s a seamless transition, but you can use the forums for free anyway so it might be good for that only. We have a few regulars who aren’t subscribed and use just the forums only.
Anyway. enjoy TextFugu, and here’s a toast to the Tofugu team finally completing the long-awaited promise of EtoEto..
よろしく！
よろしくおねがいします！You could say あなた の げんご to express “your language”, although you might want to use 母国語(ぼこくご) to mean “native language”, since けんご means just “language” with no other context.
So for your example, “Your native language is Japanese” becomes あなた の ぼこくご は にほんご です。To express the idea of “your” or any other kind of “possession” you use the particle の. It’s covered in Season 2 of TextFugu: http://www.textfugu.com/season-2/being-possessive/
よろしくおねがいします！Tofugu made an article about this a while ago: http://www.tofugu.com/japanese-resources-old/japanesepod101/
Not sure how relevant it still is though.
よろしくおねがいします！Another point of confusion might be, if by “medicine” you mean medical science, then the word for that would be 医学 (いがく), not 薬. 薬 is usually something you ingest to make you feel better when sick. It’s not something that one would “study”. I blame the English language for ambiguity on this one.
よろしくおねがいします！What I did when I started out TextFugu, was look up the kanji that I learned on http://jisho.org, write down the stroke order, and practice writing the character in a notebook. You can alternatively use something like http://jensechu.github.io/kanji/ , but you’ll have to look up the kanji by JLPT level, and then print out worksheets for you to practice your writing.
よろしくおねがいします！I think you’ll like the rest of the seasons as well, they’re pretty well structured, although starting at around season 4 there’s gonna be a few small issues with the lessons (I think it’s issues left over since the last time the site was updated). You might wanna check: http://www.textfugu.com/bb/topic/common-errors-in-textfugu/
Otherwise, have fun and enjoy your studies!
よろしくおねがいします！I learned hiragana and katakana using Anti and just practicing writing them in a notebook. The realkana website and the hiragana drag and drop game also helped. I spent about 30-40 minutes on it daily in between doing other stuff. While it took a lot longer to be confident about reading and writing it, I definitely could recognize most of the kanas when seeing them within a few days.
よろしくおねがいします！Have fun with your studies ^_^!
よろしくおねがいします！Welcome!
Cimmik is right. There’s an entire chapter in Season 3 about what you can do to study more efficiently. All in all, TextFugu is pretty great. I don’t think I would have even started to properly study without it.
Good luck with your studies!よろしくおねがいします！Welcome to the party! While Japanese is hard, I think Koichi’s lessons make it a bit more fun (I especially love the Charlie Sheen stories used for Kanji mnemonics :) ). How far along are you, and how do you like TextFugu so far?
よろしくおねがいします！ようこそ！
Welcome aboard! How far along are you? Just finished season 1?

Nice to meet you :) . As you can see, there’s not much activity on the forums. I only joined a few months ago myself, for mostly the same reasons as you. How far along are you with TextFugu, and what do you think of it so far?
よろしくおねがいします！As far as I can tell, the り readin for 人 when used as a counter is only used for 1 and 2, namely 一人 and 二人. For the other numbers it seems only にん is used. Since 七人 is a compound word, I think that’s why it uses the しち reading and not the なな one. This seems to apply to other numbers as well.
よろしくおねがいします！Hi, Nasura. Thanks, I think I’ll join the TS server and stalk for a bit at first. Since I study mostly at night, I can’t really speak without waking up my housemates :P.
よろしくおねがいします！ -
