I just tried both of them on that page and they work fine for me. Try saving it to a specific folder rather than letting it auto-download to the default folder.

Write back if it’s still not working.

Yeah Koichi is pretty terrible about his organization skills. He’s not consistent at all. I’m sure at some point it all lined up, but he was really bad at making sure that when he made changes that he followed through all the links and made the appropriate changes to everywhere else that linked back to it. So you see this quite often.

If you download Ultimate Nouns, you’ll see that they have tags that will show which group they are in. Just suspend all of the cards that are outside of the groups you need. If you need help doing that let me know and I’ll guide you through it.

Do the same thing for the verbs deck. His tagging and organization couldn’t be more horrendous to wade through though, so good luck.

Can you tell me which season and lesson teaches the で particle?

TF is terrible for finding things, so I’ll have to simply click through all the lessons from that page back to find it for you.

Be aware though that the へ　particle is pronounced like え, if that helps you remember.

Welcome to TextFugu!

がんばって！

Sounds like you are going at just the right pace. That’s one of the benefits of self study, you set the pace so you can go as fast or slow as you need to go. ^_^

Be sure to check out the links I posted you on your intro thread.

I’m going to guess from previous posts that this is a cultural thing.

Can you tell us what culture you are actually from, as that would help to put their reactions into perspective. Otherwise, all we can say is to ignore them, as we don’t have enough information to form an informed opinion.

The quote from Xaromir:

“Before you diagnose yourself with depression or low self-esteem, first make sure that you are not, in fact, just surrounded by assholes.”

Though it sounds harsh, is actually really good quote. As I had this problem myself. For a long time I just thought I wasn’t naturally a happy person and that the world was a terrible place. Then I moved away from everyone I knew and started again fresh and found out I’m actually rather cheerful when I don’t have horrible people dragging me down, and a large part of that was my family, though my ‘friends’ were terrible too. Now I no longer associate with them and my life is a million times better for it, I’m actually happy and pretty content. I’m not saying that you need to do the same and completely cut everyone loose, but you likely need to at least change your perspective and care less about what they think. And try to find more positive people who will support you.

I would also recommend downloading one of the Rikai tools, so you can hover over Japanese and get a translation.
