Welcome! Guessing you’re in Okinawa with the military?
Welcome!
Regarding EtoEto, this is what Koichi said in the latest update:
2. Inviting Everyone to EtoEto
Many of you are still waiting for an invite to EtoEto’s Alpha.
Sometime this month, I’ll make sure everyone gets invited to the current EtoEto. I think around 75% of all TextFugu Forever members have been invited already, but there are still quite a few folks who haven’t.
If you haven’t gotten your invite by the end of the month (January 2017), and you purchased a TextFugu Forever account in 2016 or earlier, please email me at hello@etoeto.com. In addition to this, I’ll increase the rate at which new people (who register in January 2017 and later) get invited too. This way you at least have the old “new” version of EtoEto while you wait for the next new version. The KUMA section, thanks to Kristen, is actually very, very full of content, good for intermediate to advanced learners. I recommend you check it out if you are interested in language shadowing.
Welcome! =)
Welcome! I’m kinda envious what you’ve already made solid plans to visit – where are you going?
On the subject of grammar, though, I’m not at all sure what that から is doing in the subject line…
Welcome! What brings you to Japan? Where are you living? =)
If you want to streamline the looking-things-up-in-the-dictionary process, you could try installing the Rikai extension for your browser – when you have it on, it shows you the definition of words that you point your mouse at. =)
It’s not that the つ is silent, it’s that the -u sound is slighly suppressed – same as the one in です or ます.
Welcome!
I have a huge list of places I’d like to visit in Japan – currently it runs to about five or six A4 pages. =)
Welcome! Where in Japan are you going? =)
Welcome back! Good to hear stuff has calmed down a bit for you.
Pondering how long I should wait for others to reply before I post the answers for the mini-lesson. =)
Welcome!
Back to Japan, huh? Does that mean you’ve been before? Where’d you go? =)
Welcome! =)
I’ve been working on a translation of a drama series myself, though since my listening ability sucks..
Congrats. =)
I must confess, I never even made it through the free levels of WaniKani – trudging through endless repetitions of the basic kanji and vocab that I learnt forever ago just got to be too much of a drag. I really should give it another stab sometime.
For my own study tools, I’ve bought a few books in Japanese (I’m fortunate enough to live in the same city as a Kinokuniya (major Japanese book shop chain) branch). Also bought the DS version of 二ノ国 in Japanese (because they elected not to release it in English) and found I was understanding it surprisingly easily. Though, learning how to read the furigana when it’s about six pixels tall was a new challenge in itself. =P
You thinking of giving the JLPT a go?
Welcome! がんばってください =)
I definitely understand how easy it is to slip, though. I’ve been working on a translation of a drama series, and whenever I finish a week’s worth of episodes, I congratulate myself with a couple of days off. In no time at all, however, a couple of days apruptly turns into a couple of months…
Ooo, a Kiwi. Welcome!
So, you’ve been to Japan, then? Where’d you go? How’d you like it?
