What would the best anki decks be for a beginner, ie wanting to learn katakana, hiragana and kanji? Ive been debating on Tango N5 but was wondering if there were any better starter ones.
Question for JLPT.
I know there isn’t a writing section but are there any minor things we have to write. Like conjugating, adding a particle,… or is it all multiple choices.
I would like to know, if chinese people are supposed to write their own names in chinese if the writing exist as a kanji or if they write it in katakana, because the chinese reading would differ from the japanese kanji one
Is this sentence correct? 「父は怖いです。」(My father is scared).
What i am unsure about is using an adjective to talk about other people, is it fine or you should use 「怖がる」 instead?
difference between
ち and ちぃ(small kana)?
I see ちぃ in some places but why? would it even be pronounced differently?
(Not to be confused with ちい which I understand is just a long vowel)
