  1. Hypothetically how sufficient would around 6,000-7000 words and 500 hours of immersion be for a 2 week trip to japan (assuming not a single soul speaks english and translation is banned)

  2. I’m using wanikani as some of my kanji learning. I’m wondering why for 5台 the pattern of use is 5台の〜 but for other numbers like 10台 or 2台 it is ~10台. Thanks

  3. I’ve been using a few resources for studying over the past few months. However, the method I prefer seems to not be working. Specifically, I can only listen to Volume 1, Episode 1-4 and Volume 2, Episode 30. I have no idea why everything else in between will not work. I’m just checking to see if anyone has used this particular podcast? Is anyone aware of a backup source for these lessons? Maybe it’s a subscription and I can’t seem to find that detail. Any feedback is appreciated.

  4. Hey all,

    I was just reading the scanlations for Chainsaw man to check my comprehension for something, but noticed this panel here that doesn’t seem to match how I’m perceiving it.

    My interpretation is the speaker is using the passive form, 彼らis the “villain”,

    i.e : we will die the moment they direct hostility at us.

    the translation seems to have it the other way around:

    if we show any hostility to them, we’ll be killed instantaneously.

    which actually makes more sense from a ‘thing someone might say in that situation’standpoint.

    I’ve reread it a few times but can’t seem to find perceive it this way. Could anyone point me in the right direction as to what I’m missing?
