I believe Koichi mentions on EtoEto that his projects at WK and that site are attempting things that would be implemented on this site, though even he admits that could be a while. I agree that it is a shame how long this has gone unupdated since I joined a few years ago and manage to do a few lessons when not in Uni. I am now almost done with it, just starting season 8, and he has yet to even add more intermediate content which he already has listed out.
My point being he hasn’t completely forgot about us but he seems to be spending a lot of time with his new Guinee Pigs right now so I wouldn’t count on updates at least within this year. ThoughI will say he must be getting closer because WK has finally got all 50 main levels.
That is correct but I think that levels 1 and 2 are free, or at least they used to be. The link in your Tf home for wanikani has the discount code in the description.
I like wanikani a lot and it is definitely closer to complete than than TF but I will say that the site has some overlapping vocab like 入場 and 入口 for example are both called begining and 作家 and 作者 are both author or writter. Since there are currently no example sentences it is up to you to figure out the context, though the QK community I think has a chrome extension for them along with other useful API based ad dons. I would also say, to end on a positive note, that they have a active forum that includes much more than just several introductions.
So in summation,I personally recommend it and am sorry for the lengthy post.
Casual or formal depends on whether you use the desu or ta form following hazu
Oh ok, nani always implies a question. I used it as my title not realizing that nani would make it a question instead of being a statement.
Awesome thank you, but how did you know it was nonsensical? I don’t entirely understand why. I do understand the alternative now though.
According to Genki, when referring to desu, bare with mit I will tie it together, naidesu a swell as the other tenses are acceptable versions of the word desu. This type is only used when speaking and not when writting, for that we use arimasen and it’s other tenses. Similarly, I assume based off the correction, that it applies to adjectives as well. To give you an idea of the concept just ask yourself if you write papers, even those ment to be a bit more casual, the same way you speak. I hope this helps
potential form?
Really if you learn some of the general rules dor stroke order you can kinda write kanji without having to do the reps. Katakana is especially easy to just know how to write, without actually doing it. That being said i learned both kanas and some kanji by writting and can be helpful but the textfugu way kinda helps aleviate the monotony of this. I would probably just do it for fun rather than requiring it, for now at least but i do intend to go there for a while.
http://Www.kanjidamage.com is very similar to the kanji here and is geared toward real life use rather than just learning all aorts of useless, as in not often useful, kanji. Some of the mneumonics are not the best but I havent really used it much past the first 15 or so.
Really the rules of the exceptions are what help me make sense of them.
I feel like more times than not kanji alone or with kana it is kun. Jukugo are are usually on readings. Though not all the time, exceptions are usually linked to a particular thing ie numbers, jukugo with body part kanji, and jukugo with 子 are some examples. The numbers are usually on yomi (except 4 and 7 due to superstition) but the other twoexamples are jukugo with kun yomi readings. This usually helps me to get it all straight, it becomes second nature eventually. No explanation for things like 大した though.
I agree as well. Mneumonics are a great starting point, more so for kanji, but if all your learning is done that way you will be spending to much time trying to remember the mneumonic rather than the required thing itself. I personally leave the mneumonics for kanji and try to get it to second nature as soon as possible.
Really the verb is します, to do, and is added to marraige, けっこん, to make to do marraige or to get married けっこんする. Other example include to study べんきょうします, and others that because i need them i have forgotten. Its similar to things like to play tenis (テニスをします) where it translates something like to do tenis.
Really with words ending in します alot of the times the ending is added to make it a verb. 毛っこん is actually a word in and of itself so it may just help to know kekkon and no that non verbs can be made verbs with する
