In response to user feedback, this is a recurring thread for general discussion about learning Japanese, and for asking your questions about grammar, learning resources, and so on. Let’s come together and share our successes, what we’ve been reading or watching and chat about the ups and downs of Japanese learning.
The /r/Japanese rules (see [here](https://www.reddit.com/r/japanese/about/rules/)) still apply! Translation requests still belong in /r/translator and we ask that you be helpful and considerate of both your own level and the level of the person you’re responding to. If you have a question, please check the subreddit’s [frequently asked questions](https://www.reddit.com/r/japanese/?f=flair_name%3A%22FAQ%E3%83%BB%E3%82%88%E3%81%8F%E3%81%82%E3%82%8B%E8%B3%AA%E5%95%8F%22), but we won’t be as strict as usual on the rules here as we are for standalone threads.

Is it worth spending **too** much time in Katakana alternate combinations? Such as ディ、ヴァ、ウォ、etc？
I know Hiragana and Katakana, but having a few issues with these Katakana combination. I use Tofugu’s quiz website to review/practice: https://kana-quiz.tofugu.com/.
Just wondering about how to know when and when not to use う
in words like ほんとうに its used and i find its generally safe to assume it goes with o sounds in words but others it doesnt,
guess im just wondering what it actually represents and where i should use it ( very new to learning japanese )
Hi!! I was wondering, can you use the word 高い to describe someone that has expensive taste? kind of like “high maintenance” in english?
thankss!!
