  1. When you are studying オノマトペ do you use a different process than when you study other vocabulary?

    And if so what do you do differently?

  2. Hello! Can I use this grammatical structure to express purposes?

    Any verb stem in its ます form + に or へ.

    If I want to say “I want to read this book to practice my English”

    It’s okay to say 英語を練習しにこの本を読みたいです?

  3. What does the word 沙汰 mean? I’ve seen it attached as part of other expressions or words such as 狂気の沙汰, ご無沙汰, 音沙汰, or 取り沙汰, but I never really understood how it helps add the given meaning to the other kanji.
