Not a question; I just want to share my excitement!
I just moved to a small rural Canadian town with a declining population of about 800 people with an Asian population that can be counted on two hands, and one of them happens to be a middle-aged Japanese librarian who (1) still speaks Japanese fluently, and (2) has shared music and literature tastes with me. We had a chance to chat when I signed up for a library card, and I guess I’m lucky that it’s such a small town because she accommodated my desire to practice Japanese.
This may be a silly question, but when doing vocabulary reviews on Anki what do you consider as “too long” to remember something. I only thought of this because I frequently see people doing their reviews and absolutely speeding through them at like 2 seconds per card. Sometimes I gotta stare at mine for 5-10 before it either clicks or I give up.
can you show me how an example sentence that has である＋はずがない please?
or if it’s easier, can you tell me if である＋はずがない is actually not very often used in conversations?
im just curious because i’ve not yet found a 例文 that shows that form yet

I explain it in this mini lesson!

Does anyone know if there’s a like compiled archive of the Nihongo con Teppei podcasts that can be downloaded all at once?
I’d like to put the episodes onto my .mp3 player so I can listen on walks and while cleaning, and I figure surely someone else has wanted to download it more than one episode at a time (I’ve already done this for 1.2k of the beginner episodes and it was very painful).
Do any of yall have examples of words with prefix マイ? I’ve seen it a lot recently with stuff like マイバッグ，マイカー，マイハウス，and even マイベルト. Also is this a common grammar (?) form or does it come up because I’m white(specifically about マイベルト)?
