  1. Been reading more books and find it really satisfying when I see a grammar point I just studied in the wild.

  2. Hi guys I stumbled upon this manga title [あばたー☆とらんす！]
    The artist is Katō Jun, but I have a doubt in the とらす part, is it making reference to trans, transform, or trance?
    In the cover it says trance, but it doesn’t make too much sense to me tbh, what do you think?? 🤔

  3. Is Airlearn an effective resource to start learning beginner Japanese?

  5. Are there different pitch accents for 下げて for the meanings of stand back from the platform and please take my dishes or are they the same

    I am bit confused with まじもっと酒飲んでくれば良かったのに. Is the subject for this sentence himself? If so, what is the difference between this and まじもっと酒飲めば良かったのに?

  7. Hi! Listening to Teppei sensei, he sometimes says “warukuanai” (maybe “warukuwanai”?) instead of “warukunai”. I’m assuming this is one of those words that can be somewhat changed in spoken Japanese, like “suimasen” or “anta”. Is that correct? Or am I just hearing it wrong?
