Re: Grammar: Verbs (動詞) I remember tryng something like this (that is, a brief summary of the conjugations and what-not) needless to say, it was a mess. i'm sure it'll be very useful for those starting out, and as a refresher for those who already learned ^^

Re: Grammar: Verbs (動詞) much better ^^ might i suggest adding a volitional and potential form of the verb? =}

Re: Grammar: Verbs (動詞) learning those characters make as much sense as learning ancient english words when learning English. Yes, you might encounter them here and there, mostly in certain names and such, but don't realistically expect it to be used in newspapers or in the social media...

Re: Grammar: Verbs (動詞) memory is limited, you're better off learning something else then trying to memorize something that is not used (unless you try and read ancient books or something) A better hiragana table http://www.kkjn.jp/h1.htm katakana table http://www.kkjn.jp/k1.htm (i remember...

Re: Grammar: Verbs (動詞) the only problem i see is the table from wikipedia entries -we and -wi are obsolete さ is 3 strokes, not 2 き is 4 strokes, not 3

don't worry, the Japanese grammar is pretty straight-forward (at least before you get into passive/honorifics stuff). The hard part is arguably the kanji and memorizing new words.

you should also have a dictionary or two handy, in case you need to look up words you don't know. dictionary is your best friend when learning the language. you'll use it quite often, especially in the beginning. online japanese dictionary or any dictionary you feel comfortable with. ideally, it...

wanikani is only good for learning kanji. you still need to learn the Japanese grammar to make sense of what's written. Tae Kim's guide is arguably the best resource for grammar, and is free (legally) Japanese grammar

Going to Japan and taking a Japanese language course would arguably be the best. You'd be able to immediately apply what you learned in class to real life scenarios (such as when shopping/ going to a restaurant/etc). Of course, you should also find a native speaker who's willing to guide you...

might i suggest upgrading to mpc-hc? it supports sub files just fine=p (be sure to follow one of the mpc playback guides for best quality) also, depending on the sub file, you'll have to change the encoding (right-click -> Subtitles -> Options... -> Default Style)

you could try looking for the japanese sub here: http://kitsunekko.net/dirlist.php?dir=subtitles%2Fjapanese%2F it doesn't have a Japanese sub for all anime, but it does have quite a lot. just make sure the sub and the video have the same name, and the video player should auto-load the sub file...

These are my notes from watching the 4 videos. I still recommend watching to get the most out of the notes. Basic layout & flow of the game note: discard pile should be 3 rows, not 2 (typo) a meld is either a sequence (ex. tiles 1,2,3 of same suit) or a set (ex. tiles 3, 3, 3,3 of same suit)...

Re: Learning Kanjis with Mahjong (lesson for mahjong as well) [Need kana knowledge] Lesson 2 (kanjis cited: 32) someone already made a very nice (though somewhat long) tutorial I also made a summary of the rules based on his videos. I can upload it if you want ^^ edit: spoiler tag fail

yea. 少し does mean little, or few for ～百 the reading can change depending on the number in front ex: 三百「さんびゃく」 (nasal) 四百「よんひゃく」 (unchanged) 八百「はっぴゃく」 (strong) i just play mahjong on my ipad lol (it's called 麻雀天極牌 if you're wondering)

by the way, for people using the table to learn hiragana: entries in Wi and We are archaic and no-one uses it anymore if you're learning the stroke orders, be careful because the table can be misleading (さ have 3 strokes, not 2. き has 4 strokes, not 3)

actually, 林「はやし」 also means woods or forest in Japanese. never seen it being used to mean corpse edit: misread copse as corpse...fail on my part haha ^^;; thanks @below 少「しょう」 means few or little if used with another kanji or itself, it's usually read as しょう in other cases it can be read as...
