  1. Reading more in Japanese is really boosting my confidence. When I go into a bookstore now I really feel like I could read any of these books if I really wanted. If this is how I feel now on book 3. I wonder how I will feel by book 10 or 25.

  2. I’ve been trying to use Bunpro as a grammar resource but has been really tattering my confidence with Japanese which has been amping up my anxiety. How can I make learning grammar more rewarding like wanikani.

    [Edit] I found something that really helped and that was to turn the reviews into reading only on Bunpro. This turns it into wanikani in a way, but I just grade myself on whether or not I know the grammar point. Instantly made a big difference. I can worry about input when I’m in classes but for the time being exposure is what is important.

  3. Usage of に

    I never learned this grammar before. and also I found it difficult to find this grammar.

    I know it could be explained like lack of, full of… etc

    I’m wondering is there a standardize or general definition of this kind of usage? Thanks!
