  1. Does anyone have the link to the core 6k anki deck? Or a good replacement for it, I only ever find versions that change the original deck and never know if it’s good. Also, is ChatGPT good to talk to? I use it to have a conversation and practice Japanese and it’s really fun, it corrects my mistakes but I know it can be unreliable. Thank you!

  2. あの女性のパートナーを大切にしていなさそうなイメージがあるっていうふうに、

    – What is this さ in さそうな? I was expecting ない -> なそう
    – っていう風に is this a way of speaking or does it carry some meaning

    Thanks

  3. Anybody have a good recommendation for a first novel to read? I ve seen よるのばけもの by Sumino Yoru but if you have other recommendation to further my vocabulary and kanjis I d greatly appreciate it. It would be even better if I can get a PDF or EPub version to ease the creation of Anki cards.

  5. > 鱗を引っペがさなきゃならない

    What would this phrase be without contractions? I more or less know what it means, but I have no idea what’s going on in the middle of that phrase.

  6. What do you do when you feel like giving up,learning is too hard to continue?
    For me,I listen to some music(e.g shimanchuu no takara) I understood around 60% of the song without any help.It makes me realize one day I might be able understand the whole language if i continue

  7. 別にコーヒーがあればどこのカフェでもいいよ。

    What is the function of 別に here? I feel like the sentence would work just fine without it, and I cant see what exactly its contributing. Im having a hard time with the “positive” side of 別に (separate, additionally, etc.) In this sentence it just doesn’t seem to make sense.
