    I just wanted to say hello. I just joined textfugu tonight. The main reason why I want to learn Japanese is so I can communicate better with Japanese-speaking parents at my daughter’s school. I hope this site helps me with that!

    Welcome to TextFugu, mkiku!

    Do you mind telling us a little bit more about yourself? For example, who you are, your interests/hobbies, what interests you about Japan (if you have any interests about Japan)?

    Good luck learning Japanese.

    Sorry, if I wrote not clearly enough.

    I’m looking at the peoples own activities of Entries Written and Corrections Made.
    If there are much more entries written than corrections made, I probably won’t correct the text.

    EDIT: Just got rid of some bold in the last sentence

    Yeah, that’s fair anyway, I normally only take personal notes, but since I requested this its only fair I make a contribution!
    1. Since. Used by putting it after a te from verb.
    2. Something like must do before going?
    3. I don’t really know if I’m honest, Mark W’s attempt seems fairly reasonable to me.
    4. わけじゃない: That is not the meaning わけない：There is no reason
    5. Something along the lines of 私は走してよかったよ。

    This is actually really good thanks missing! I am nearly sure I’ve made some mistakes but I enjoyed it! The length is much better!

    Was supposed to be a video embed here… which was also supposed to be in the video testing thread. Accidentally clicked the button before I selected the right thread.

    If you’re a beginner, I’m not sure you would want to use RTK. I’m not too familiar with it, but I believe you learn kanji starting with lowest strokes and move up. That means you’re going to learn low-stroke kanji that you probably won’t be using in every-day language. I mean, how often are you going to use 硝 in daily conversation? Unless that word has something to do with your job, you’re probably not going to use it. Yet, that’s the 115th kanji you’ll learn with RTK.

    Personally, my primary goal is to communicate with people, secondary is learning kanji. So I study the iKnow Core series and pick up kanji along the way. According to this, only 1648 unique kanji are in the Core 6000. There’s over 3000 in RTK, that means you’re learning over 1000 kanji more than you need to start talking with people.

    If you wanted to focus on Kanji, I would probably pick that list of 1648 from the iKnow series and learn it the Textfugu way.

    However, what is really helping me a lot with kanji (and I wish I would’ve found it earlier) is Tagaini Jisho. When studying in iKnow, I’ll pause and look up the kanji and then break them down into their radicals, etc.

    *edit, updated RTK kanji as previous example was inaccurate.
    *more edit…..somehow this post teleported to a completely different thread
