    So far as I can tell, で is always used with あと, and に is always used with まえ. I couldn’t really say why, though.

    The next word starts with る or う. Your choice.

    Shhh, you sounded smart until just then – don’t ruin it. =P Also, I already made my move, so no take-backs! =D

    As for んです being a word, it’s a contraction of のです. Also, it’s not a noun.

    Anyway: ソース

    ん leads to ん, and no word starts with ん – that’s why it’s a lose condition. However, I’m happy to take your move as starting a new game. =P In which case:

    ソース

    For the はず question, it’s all in the context.

    Yeah, I use L too. There’s a few other fun combinations you can discover through random experimentation too – for example, “qi” outputs くぃ. =)

    Looks like a typo to me. The grammar dictionary gives basically the same usage instructions and similar examples, and never has だ after an い-adjective.

    エ = katakana え, not the kanji 工 – it’s different. =)

    A small エ is a way of fudging glides with e-sounds for foreign loan words – that is, ジェ = je.

    Oh, hah. That’s probably where I got the link from originally. No wonder I couldn’t find it written anywhere in my class notes. =)

    Is this thread for general “read real Japanese” suggestions, or it it just about the book? Gonna post this here, either way. =D

    Mainichi Shimbun has a section of its website with articles written for elementary school students (which, to be frank, is us). I haven’t actually given it a detailed look, because at the time I didn’t know very much kanji, but I might look it over again now that I’ve learnt more…

    Linky.

    You need to move to Chicago or somewhere near there. That way, you can say you were born in the West Midlands and live in the Midwest lands. =D
