By casually, I don't mean "no big deal" , just "I can't be bothered to look up words" :p. Although, whenever I come upon a sex scene I have to hold the book half-closed out of shame haha.
Yeah, it's not the kind of manga I would read when there are people around. Though I don't read much when someone's around in general.
Common enough to have a series of books called "Remembering the Kanji" =P
There's a reason Heising recommends practicing trough "keyword -> mnemonic -> Kanji". Not ideal for vocabulary acquisition and learning the language in general, but pretty good for remembering how to writing them ;)
Hey,
At work I have around 8 hours daily to listen to anything using my headphones.
What would be the best for me to listen to learn new Japanese phrases and grammar? I have a lot of time daily.
Or what would be the best in general for me to improve my Japanese? Or expand my vocabulary etc

I recently stumbled across IGN Japan’s podcast しゃべりすぎGAMER. It’s a completely Japanese podcast that discusses a gaming topic each week for about an hour or so. It’s really good for listening practice.
I'm listening to this aswell, I don't understand very much, but I think it helps to get a feeling for the language.
Hey guys, it's been some time since I posted here.
Currently studying for N2.
So recently I started a project where I tried to translate the demo of a japanese game.
By doing this I learnt a japanese idiom which I found pretty cool
Maybe most of you will already know it but I wanted to share this here too.
So the sentence was:
"hell has frozen over" idiom.
I've seen others use the "when pigs fly" but I'm not sure what's best.
Cheers..

Now, I'm no native english speaker so I wasn't sure what was the equivalent in english but I ultimately used the
"hell has frozen over" idiom.

I took JLPT N3 knowing that I was not ready (I own 4-5 N3 books and I'd been through 75% of the first one).
Vocabulary and kanji were so easy I thought they gave us an N4 test. Grammar was fair enough, not too hard not too easy, but reading killed me. That's when my lack of vocabulary proved a big handicap. I didn't have enough time so I answered randomly at the end.
Listening was quite hard too, and the recording was defective so they had to replay several tracks over and over again. I couldn't wait to be done with this test but we had to stay longer because of that.
Anyway, no time to waste, I'm already back to my N3 books in anticipation for next year's test.

If you just have the neutral form, no, you’ll have to learn them the hard way.
I have a very simple question:
Anata no gakkou ni nani ga arimaska?
what does that translate to, exactly? Where is your school?

Hi, all! Not sure if this is a good place to ask since it's barely related to the language learning aspect, but do you all have any recommendations for EN->JP travel/survival phrases books or (Android) apps? I have some friends who are planning on traveling there next year despite a total lack of language knowledge.
I found out that there seems to be some rule, but of course it has its exceptions:
All ru-verbs (ichidan) are ending with either an eru or iru sound.
Keep in mind that there are u-verbs (godan) which have eru and iru ending sound.
But at least it narrows down the options. So if a verb isn't ending with an eru or iru sound, you can be sure that it isn't a ichidan verb.
Further here's an interesting video on that topic:
