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.

Gift idea?
Hello everyone! I’m looking for ideas for a gift for a friend. I would like to give her an authentic cook book. She is Japanese and Solomon Islander and I would like to gift her a cookbook that has some connection to her roots. Any help or suggestions is greatly appreciated!
How and what is the marriage requirements for foreigners wanting to marry a Japanese lady.
I have no idea what I’m getting myself into but I may get to know a girl that want to get married soon, and would like to know what do they expect of me, in terms of financial responsibilities, families getting together, my family doesn’t speak English or Japanese so how would they communicate and would it be an issue.
What are the mans and women’s responsiblties in a marriage.
Hi, so I’m doing a script for a small play we’re doing in japanese and the situation is that i invited my friend over, let’s call him Ash, to my house to plan for another friend’s birthday party. After it’s all done with the planning, Ash wants to leave for the day, what should he say? Would it be ok if he said something along the lines of “osewa ni narimasu, mata raishuu” to which I’ll reply “sore made, ja ne”
