Is there a chart or any kind of thing where n3 kanjis are catagorized by how similar they look?
For example this,探 and 深
さて、62歳の私、本日もラテン語入門講座です。まったく予習復習が追い付いていません。第一課の内容がわかっていないのに、どんどん講義が進んで行ってしまっています😭。
ラテン語講座のよいところ。
* 受講者たちが全員、学習期間は10年単位でかかるだろうと、最初から思っているのがすがすがしい。スマホのアプリで3か月でなにかがわかるとは思っていない。実にすがすがしい。
* 受講者たちが、紙と鉛筆で学習しているのがすがすがしい。このアプリが最高であり、おまいらの学習方法は間違いとか言い出す受講者がいない。
* あるひとつの解釈が絶対に正しく、自分の解釈、セオリーが絶対に正しいので、おまいら全員アホとかいう何を達成したいのか、何を証明したいのかさっぱりわからない受講者がいないのがすがすがしい。
I’m new to learning Japanese and I’ve just learned kana and I’m starting on kanji with the 1.5k kaishi anki deck. I was wondering, since I’m not at my computer all the time for anki, is there a good way to supplement or study japanese in general on android?
>朝、友だちに「昼ご飯の後、暇だ？」と尋ねだった。
Is this a correct way to say something that I asked my friend?
>友だちは寝坊したから、僕は一時間待った。
Should I use が here?
>遊びの後、交通は悪いから、僕は歩くで家に二キロ半ぐらい帰った。
Is this a proper way to say that I walked home and describe the the length of the walk?
dialogue is talking about using a タッチパネルだ to order food at a 回転ずし (i didnt include some sentences from the dialogue to not make this post too long)
タッチパネルの使い方。
食べたい時に食べたいネタが回っているとは限らない。そんな時便利なのが、客席で注文できるタッチパネルだ。店によって違いはあるが、たいてい同じような手順で注文できる。まずはじめに、画面の「にぎり」「巻物」「おすすめ」などのカテゴリーの中から見たいものを選んでタッチする。他にも注文したいものがあれば、同じように繰り返し入力していく
1. Confused with last sentence. Does 他にも mean something different from ほかに? 1st time seeing it. When i search it on yomitan it says it means “furthermore/even more” ? ,but i understand it here like “if theres other（food you wanna order)”
2. not sure if im understanding 繰り返し入力していく in last sentence. 1st time seeing 繰り返す, and confused with ていく. first i thought it was saying something like “repeat in the same way and go input”, but in 2nd sentence it says you can order from the 客席, so i dont think its saying to go somewhere?
