For clarification, this is for Ipod Touch vs Nothing.
Yes, the new ones are base $300, but you can get the previous generation ones on Amazon for $235.
I don’t care about an iPad. It’s way more expensive and too big to take with me everywhere.
Just use Sim Sun font.
I bought a Japanese 3DS with Fire Emblem. Because I like Fire Emblem. But yeah just get whatever games you’d normally be interested in.
Yeah it’s really bad for reviews (in terms of navigation and whatnot). It’s easy to just forget your grammar from just a couple lessons ago unless you take some notes on it.
I did Seasons 1-6, which then I “graduated” onto other sources. But textfugu definitely gave me a real good base.
I plan to come back and do 7 (and soon 8!) when I get some spare time.
Textfugu is great, but I agree with others where it’s sort of like the beginning training wheels. But really good wheels, mind you.
Also on WaniKani…I don’t really care for it. Perhaps as stand-alone product it’s better? But if you’re already going through textfugu, you’re already going to have your anki decks set up. The wanikani process just goes way too slow.

I had to study up for a Japanese placement test. TextFugu did well teaching me what I need to know (I’m on S7-1) except in one area:
“Short Form Past + ほうがいいですよ （It’s better that you did ~.)”
Could someone either link me to a page that teaches this in detail, or at least write up few sentences using this concept? I think some of the examples were sentences like “Q: Do you like A or B better?” & “A: I like A better than B.”

This page shows おきる being convered to おきて for te-form. Which I don’t understand. According the rules taught by textfugu, shouldn’t this be おきって instead? It’s a group 1 verb.
I thought the characters う つ る always changed to った?

Alright, well I went ahead and did it anyway. I figured there can’t be too many words the Ultimate decks would be missing. My deck files are so much cleaner/nicer now. Hopefully it shouldn’t take any more than a week tops to kinda get through any easy words and have the repetition be more natural.
For anyone wondering, the “Kanji ALL” and “Kanji Vocab ALL” decks cover lessons 1-1 to 6-6, which also eliminates a lot of clutter.
So upon trying to get my Anki stuff synced with Ankiweb, now all my media stuff is messed up. None of the audio plays for my cards. I tried to reverse my steps (uninstalled dropbox with the anki dropbox plugin, changed the setting in anki back to “keep media next to deck”) but still no luck.
Anyone know where I be like “Hey get all my media stuff from THIS folder you always used to”?

I haven’t needed to do this yet, but I believe you have to create an online account here http://anki.ichi2.net/account/login. Once you’ve done that, open up anki, then go file > download > personal deck, then enter your username and password. I’d imagine you then have the options of which decks to download.Yeah that’s what I’m trying to mess around with now, is the AnkiWeb stuff. I tried what you said but that just creates the new “synced-deck” on my desktop Anki, which syncs with the web. That’s great and what I want….but it’s an empty deck. I can add my decks okay, but I’m trying to look for a way to import all my SRS data into either the AnkiWeb or to my laptop as well, so that it doesn’t just function as a brand new deck with no SRS data.

I’m glad someone else made this topic. Those lang-8 posts help a lot at showing the specific cases when you’d use them. Now I just have to figure out how the particle へ fits into all this as well.
I was also confused by Koichi’s sentences. Such as “わたし の アパート には さいふ が ある。” – This makes it seems like it should be something like “As for my apartment, it has my wallet.” You would think it would be better to just use に here? Koichi translates this sentence as “I have a wallet at my apartment. / My apartment has my wallet.” I don’t really understand why you’d use には here.
So I just learned about particle で in season 6, and koichi mentions this being the last main particle you have to learn. When did he cover へ? Maybe my memory is bad, but I don’t recall him teaching about that. I know the basics of it just from experience, but I still feel foggy on it compared to the other particles. Which season was it in? Or did Koichi just glance over it?
I guess I was just curious to know when to use へ as opposed to に for marking locations in sentences.

Haha, c’mon perhaps my reply wasn’t worded the best but you get my point.
AJATT should be supplemental. Not your primary way of learning. Sorry.
Just youtube search AJATT and watch videos of people who have followed this method. They will show you around their “immersive” Japanese room.
You don’t want to be those people. They’re losers. Sorry.
If you want to seriously learn a language, you have to study, not watch anime.
If you just want to learn basic stuff to help you get around when you travel Japan, then sure.Immersion is good. But it shouldn’t be your only means of study if you want to really learn the language.
