Where do most people in Japan watch anime? Looking to watch anime with JP subs.
Not asking anyone’s opinions on pre-mades, or debating anything else I am or aren’t doing. Just a simple question: does anyone have an informed perspective on the quality of decks between 3-10k or so after finishing 2k. There are so many variations of 6/10k floating around for instance that it’s hard to even know which one you’re looking at.
Pitch accent gurus, I need you!
The pitch accent for the name 坂井泉水 [as said by Izumi Sakai herself](https://youtu.be/IqFgDbfWYSM?si=S5N_pVHPDnx-zuNW) is HLL LHH, right?
Is it better to learn Japanese on LingoDeer with the English spelling of the Japanese word as it’s pronounced turned off in order to help learn the corresponding syllables and Japanese alphabet as well?
So, I have this idea of comparing the use of particles to the use of grammatical case in order to make them more palatable to myself. Like を would be the accusative case, に would be the dative case, から would be something akin to the ablative case (I’m using Latin as a reference here).
Is that a good approximation for a beginner or should I discard it? I feel like it’d be a good beginner’s perspective until I get a better grasp of the full syntax of particles in Japanese.
Hello! I’m about to start the Kodansha Kanji Learner’s Course, and I’d like to know what people think is the most effective way to associate Anki with remembering kanji.
Should I use the shared deck with vocabulary?
Or should I make my own cards? And if so, what is the best formatting method for the course in your opinion?
Any help is much appreciated
What’s the difference between どう before 何 different forms ofする?
For example, どうしよう and 何しよう or どうしたいの and 何したいの. I thought どうしたいの would mean ‘how do you want to do it?’ but I’ve seen it used to mean ‘what do want to do?’.
