    Some easy words have really difficult Kanji. It is possible that the Kanji writing of the most basic words (for Example “I”) appears very late, if at all. So no, no all words you learn will have a Kanji that’s taught in textfugu, but it has a reason. Learning Kanji with an seemingly endless amount of strokes is overwhelming if you’re not used to it and they will most likely not stick to your memory. If you want to learn more Kanji, I’d suggest using Wanikani.

    Yes there is!
    I did some digging and it turns out forvo.com has an add on for that purpose. Forvo.com itself offers around 60.000 Japanese words with their pronunciation so if it’s not too exotic you’ll probably find it there. (if not you still have to check google translate I guess) But it came in handy multiple times anyway. Here’s the link:

    Edit: Just noticed that the add on was created less than two weeks ago. That’s probably the reason I never knew it existed until now ;)

    oh, Good luck with that! German is a beautiful language but sometimes I think they stopped to care naming things properly half way. We call Toys “playthings”,planes “Flything” or tools “workthing”. Seriously, never play scrabble with Germans ;)

    I never even knew there were parts of Swizerland that only speak French. The more you know o.o
    Now I’m even more frustrated that I’ve learned Latin instead of French, the chanches of finding someone here whose fluent in Latin is probably zero. Pffff… dead languages.

    Hello! ( Und grüße aus dem momentan seeehr kalten Deutschland)
    I hope to see you around here often, It’s nice to have people here who have the same native language, I don’t know why :P
