Hi Paula, welcome! That sounds like an interesting career plan. How far along are you to achieving it?
Watching “Priceless” with KimuTaku.
Hi Hey, yes of course in those areas where there is a right and wrong, why is most important. My career is in a very technical field and (unless I am dealing with the Chinese) I must always know why. However, language is a bit more artistic, so I just go with it. Maybe it’s not the best way, but its efficient. ;-)
Hi Fizz,
welcome to Textfugu.

Hi Peter,
welcome to Textfugu. I think you just have to email Koichi to sort out those payment details.
cheers,

Hi Kristina,
those are great reasons to learn a new language. I remember reading someone’s blog whom is now fluent in Japanese that said almost the same thing as you did regarding subtitles. After years of reading subtitles he told himself, “I am better than this!” And motivated himself to learn the language ASAP.
Good luck,

Hi Drew,
welcome to Textfugu. I hope learning Japanese is equally easy for you as your previous academic successes.
Cheers,

Hey, Hey,
I think its terrific that you got a Japanese girl to tutor you. It is annoying that no one understands me in Japanese unless I pronounce things almost exactly like native people do. It can be frustrating and really brings down my confidence in speaking. So use your tutor as much as possible to say it right the first time. Also, maybe I am one of the few who think this way, but does why really matter? The Japanese language is too big to spend time on why. Cooperate and graduate…
Yay!! Season 6 finished………………..except for the kanji and vocab (shhh…)
Not just water bottles… usually cold drink in public places in Japan is served with a straw. It looks nicer, no?
Sounds like what Tae Kim wrote in his blog last year. Many people discussed the pros and cons. To summarise, what you are attempting to do is much more difficult.

Hmmm, I think I agree with you. Textfugu has made a lot of Japanese easy to learn. It is a bit too much to ask for a one stop shop when it comes to something as big as the Japanese language. After Textfugu, I will go through Tae Kim’s Japanese Grammar Guide or An Intro to Modern Japanese by Laurie and Bowring. That should solidify the basics. Also I will learn the rest of the Joyo kanji too. Maybe RTK or Wanikani or some other highly rated source. Also, I might hire a tutor to improve my conversation skills.
Yep congrats to both of us :-), there was a lot of knowledge packed into Season 5. I wish there were 20 more Seasons like that.
Yahoooo! Season 5 done.
Hi Tyler,
I had the same problem at first, but now really prefer the new Anki. Just click and drag the newly created Anki deck into the deck you want it. Every new “mini deck” will appear below the main deck. The nice thing is if you are having problems with a certain group of kanji then those mini-decks can be studied individually.
