Totally forgot about this as it was sitting in my inbox since early April, but the guide has been featured on NIHONGO eな, a (kinda) new portal site for learning Japanese!
It’s a brief introduction (with a Japanese version as well) so it may be old hat to regular visitors. However, the site overall looks very well put together and looks great for introducing various tools and sites currently on the web for learning Japanese like this one: “Read the same novel in Japanese and English”. Check it out.
In other news, I backtracked to this very well-written article, which translates my explanation of the difference between 「は」 and 「が」 in Japanese. There’s also other interesting posts in Japanese such as 「頑張って」と”Good luck.”.
Way to go! 🙂 Thanks for the links, by the way. Really appreciate all the hard work you’ve put into everything. And though I’ve never bothered to comment before, I really enjoy your blog. I understand that you have a lot of stuff going on right now, but I can’t help but wish you’d post more often! Even if the number of comments don’t reflect, many people enjoy what you have to say; they just don’t bother to comment.
Thanks for commenting. I have another food entry sitting in my draft box so hopefully I’ll manage to finish writing that some day.
Second that.
Am a Nihongo teacher （一応）, love the guide, and am hoping to introduce some of your concepts to the class soon (beginning the curriculum with ～だ and plain form of verbs, etc). I would like to ask for everyone’s help: I am planning to implement some video subtitling activity in my Nihongo classes. Can you recommend any site which offers free download of short, wholesome, interesting and informative videos about Japan? Thank you very much for your time.
