> 外国語を学ぶということは、文化の感性を学ぶということでもあるんですけども、言葉というものが持っている感性と、自分自身の肉体というか感性とのあいだにズレがあるということを自覚することでもあるんですね。
言葉というものが持っている感性 means “sensitivity hidden in words”? I am not sure if 自分自身の肉体というか感性 should be 自分自身の肉体という感性 instead. It means “sensitivity of one’s body”?
got a question about this quartet 1 sentence
「カラオケ「ファン」」は移転しました。少し行くと、左手に本屋があるから、その角を左に曲がって、**突き当り**まで道なりに真っ直ぐ行ってってください。そして**突き当り**に出たら、右に曲がってください。
1. does 少し行くと in 2nd sentence mean “go(walk?) a little”? like: if you walk a little theres a book store on the left side
2. what does the に出る in final sentence mean? is it like “to get to” “to arrive at”? like : when you get to; arrive at（～に出る） the end of the street, turn right?
Hello
Give me your suggestions for native social media to doom scroll. Preferably with UI that’s similar to reddit or classic forums.
Thanks.
Hello everyone.
I have been studying Japanese for about a year and three month everyday for about 30 minutes -1.5 hours a day (I don’t really have a consistent time set for studying per day). Though lately, Japanese studying has been very frustrating and a little bit of a chore. But I don’t want to give up!
I was wondering if anyone has any recommendations on how to stay interested/engaged with Japanese learning? This can be a suggestion on changing my studying habits or maybe trying a new way immersion, I think any input will help.
My current studying activities:
– Genki 2 textbook and workbook
– Anki decks for vocab
– A kanji learning app
– Watching Anime (occasionally picking up some of the things that said in the show)
– Re-watching clips of Japanese shows/movies to analyze dialog
– Occasionally read online graded readers (but most are kind of boring)
Again, I welcome any suggestions or advice!
I greatly appreciate your help!
質問あれば聞いてください is incorrect, right? It must be あったら？
I am having so much trouble with the pronounciation of shi-chi (7).
At first I thought it was spoken like it was written “shi-chi”, but whenever I hear locals pronounce it, it sounds more like “sh-ch” or “sh-ti”.
I keep listening and repeating, but I cannot get it right. Even my private teacher gave up after multiple tries.
It does not help that I have a slight lisp due to wearing dentures.
Any advice would be appreciated.
**What does 乗ってきたな mean here ?**
=============================
I met this while reading an erotic novel, but not understand much and can only guess something as : “You’re getting excited”
Hope someone knowledgeable in Japanese could explain clearly for me its meaning.
>!妊娠を嫌がる程に、ズクンと股間には新たな疼きが広がり、更なる射精欲が湧き上がる。!<
>!Girl「あっ、あぁっ、ダメだっ、そんなに激しくっ、あっ、したらっ、んぁぁっ！」!<
>!Main character「**乗ってきたな**……いいぞっ、あと一発っ、しっかり飲めよっ、おぉぉっ！」!<
Does anyone have a link to a video explaining how the Kodansha kanji learner’s course works? I don’t think I really get how to read the entries after reading the start of the book so I’m curious if there’s a video out there as I’m better learning through those.
