  1. I just finished Genki 1 but don’t feel like I’m at N5 level yet. Is that normal? What should be my next step?

  2. Is there a place where I can find a list of all the common ambiguous て/た forms? As in, how 行って/行った can be both 行く and 行う, or how 通って/通った can be both 通る and 通う.

  3. I’m currently studying for the N5 exam but I’ve just come across the term ‘Volitional Verbs’ which I haven’t studied yet. Are Volitional Verbs part of N5 or are they N4?

  4. Hello, i have a simple question: In japanese self service restaurant, when you have finished your dish and bring it to return dish place the staff often said something but i can’t hear very clearly the phrase is like this:

    “そんでに、ありがとうございます”

    The “そんでに” is definitely wrong, still i can’t find info about it. Anyone have any idea what this phrase is and it’s meaning ?
