  1. Kanji Writing Help

    Hello, I’d like to get these two banners added to a tattoo design I have in mind. I’m just a bit curious on how accurate this is, one banner has 武士道 (Bushido) and the other has 不屈 (Fukutsu). I just want to make sure they say the correct thing and are positioned right.

    Is there anyone that could please help me correct my mistakes lol I would greatly appreciate it.

    Thanks in advance 🙂

  2. confused with this example sentence from quartet 1 chapter 4 というわけだ grammar

    1. 日本人が食べている豆の８０％は外国で作られたものだ。つまり、日本では、あまり豆が作られていないというわけだ。

    Does the 作られたもの in 1st sentence mean “used to be made”? At first i thought the 1st sentence said, “80 percent of beans that japanese people eat are made in foreign countries.”, but after googling past tense + もの grammar i saw on bunpro that たものだ means “used to”.

    Soo, is this saying:

    About 80 percent of beans that japanese people eat were made(used to be made たもの???) in Foreign countries. In other words, it means（というわけだ） that not many beans are made in japan?

  3. what is a good resource to learn conversational/practical japanese in everyday life? I would like to learn some practical sentences and then “fill in the blanks” with immersion. I already did Genki 1 and 2. also where do I sign up for JLPT N5? I know it’s not practical but I want to do this for motivational purposes.
