  1. I’m a little confused on the actual difference in volitional forms.

    What’s the de facto difference between

    行くと思っています, and 行こうと思っています

    I got dinged on a practice test that the latter is “more” correct while the former is still understandable and not technically wrong

  2. Question about the keyboard

    I always changed between kana and alphabet using ² (left of 1 on french keyboard) but today I had to reinstall windows 11 and it doesn’t work anymore.

    I don’t care what is the shortcut that they want me to use, I want to change it and put it back on ², how can I do it ?

  3. Would appreciate some opinions. Ive been working through Kalshi 1.5k for just over 2 months, so far I’ve managed to go through around a 1/3 of the set with 995 to go.

    I’m starting to notice that my review sessions are slowly taking longer and longer & was planning to halt any new cards for around 7 days and then just study and review the cards that I have. My logic here is that I want to try and get my leech / difficult cards a bit more attention.

    I don’t intend to do this often but I’m not sure if this might be considered a “wrong” approach to anki of sorts. For reference this is my current breakdown of my Anki.

  4. Did the Yomitan clipboard monitoring feature break for anyone else? It’s not automatically populating the text stored in my clipboard in the search bar anymore for me.
