  1. Hey everyone, I’ve been studying using Renshuu for a little while now, just getting started. I recently started branching out and found that there’s a completely different system of Kana being used in other places, and this other system seems to be the standard.*

    I was wondering if anybody knows what system Renshuu uses for Kana (How they’re stylized) and whether it’s important to switch to the modern standard and study elsewhere?

    *(For example, ki has no curve at the bottom, only a dash, and is much sharper)

  2. hi, may i ask whats the difference between 偶然 and 偶然に / 偶然にも? if i want to say i coincidentally met my friend in korea, will this work? 韓国で友達に偶然に出会った. the sample sentence i saw is where 偶然 is at the front 駅で偶然大学時代の友人に出会った. when do i put it at the front or use に or にも?

    thanks in advance

  3. Genki chapter 7 teaches action in progress verbs, change verbs and continous verbs. Should I be memorizing which verb are action in progress verbs, which are change verbs and which are continuous verbs or does it come naturally?
