  1. Anyone know roughly what level of japanese is needed to start playing kanken DS games or the kanken start app on google play store?

  3. Anyone know what the がかかった means in ‘今日は進学がかかった試験の日’? I saw see it often and don’t quite get it.

  4. is 市 (ichi, or shi?) as commonly used as 町 ? I’m going to have a JP classroom presentation about Japan’s inaka soon so I picked a random city(北見市) with 100k populations, hope it’s 田舎 enough.

  5. Can’t type the word 頷く(with the kanji 頷) on my iPhone. Can’t find the kanji in the selection for some reason. Is this normal and what are my options in this kind of situation? Do I have to find the kanji somewhere and copy and paste or is there a better way? This is probably not the last time I’m gonna fail to find the kanji in the selection so I was wondering if there is a better way
